I don't care about Glory being gay, but could she seriously not find a cute girl? Glory is a pretty girl. Griner is damn hideous

I thought the same thing about Michael Sam. Did you see that kid he was dating? That's the best he could do?
...no homo. :)

I wish them all of the happiness in the world.

The article mentioned that Griner had some bad things to say about Mulkey in her book. I wonder what they were?

I also noticed that Glory and Brittany have identical stats in the WNBA besides blocks. Glory actually out rebounds her betrothed by just a little.

But one thing I hadn't thought of, won't it be a conflict of interest when they play each other on the court? That would be a difficult position to be in. Block her shot and you might be sleeping on the couch for the next month.

How Baylor was a Christian school that specifically condemed homosexuality. She said that Mulkey would get calls when Griner was out with her girlfriend at the time showing public displays of affection and someone saw them. Mulkey would tell her that she ought to keep it and herself in the closet so as to not attract attention. Griner had accepted her sexuality by that time and didn't like being told to essentially go back into the closet and be made to feel ashamed of herself by an institution that praised her so long as she was their heteronormative basketball phenome

One thing I hadn't thought of: imagine the couch! Either they have to buy a custom-made couch, or Griner must look like a question mark when she sleeps on the wrap-around sectional!

I really wish you would keep your redneck comments to yourself. Because that's exactly how the rest of the country perceives us. Posts like yours support the notion that Tennesseans are no different than toothless Alabama rednecks. So please stop. Unless you love Alabama, in which case, continue

So my question is why didn't Griner come to Tennessee? I guess that must have been before they became a couple.

Biased? Are you trying to say I'm gay? I'm married with 2 daughters and far from it. I just understand that people are born different ways. Some gay, some straight. Just like some are born black and some white. And ripping on somebody for being born gay is no different than calling a black person the N word. Would you openly and publicly call Eric Berry an N Word? No. So why call a gay person names? It's all hating what is different and that's my point. I'm not going to debate. If you want to flame me for standing up for people who are different than go ahead. I don't really care what anybody on Volnation thinks about me. I've said my piece.

He didn't call you gay so chill brother. Another thing, not trying to be an a**, but it's a hard notion to believe someone is simply born gay. By making this statement you are going against everything we know in terms of reproduction in our biological world. The world, including all forms of life, work off the idea of natural selection. The central idea to life is to reproduce and gain as much fitness as possible. Natural selection selects for those individuals who are most fit, and this selection is directly correlated to the ability of the animal to survive in the wild. This survival can be based on a specific trait, aka a longer beak in a bird etc, and as the environment changes so does the need for new traits, which we gain through mutations. Point being, natural selection would abolish any gay gene in the wild within a few generations simply because it holds no fitness. We are simple geared to reproduce and be sexual attracted to the opposite sex, and if we weren't then our bodies as teenagers wouldnt go through the necessary changes to allow for reproduction. So, if there is a gay gene it seams it would stop any gay person from going fully through puberty, as the need for reproduction doesn't exist. The better argument for the gay community would be epigenetics. Through our environments we can have our genes altered. In the wild things like methylation occur that can turn off or on certain genes, but the effects are not transferred to their offspring. The mechanism behind those altered traits can be, but not the physical changes themselves. In other words, your environment can alter your genes to allow for a physical or psychological change, a mutation if you will, but the trait will not be passed on to its offspring because there was no change in the DNA sequence as a whole just the expression of it. Since there's no reproduction for gay people, the only way for them to have an influence in terms of reproduction would be placing a child in a very "gay friendly" environment. Still, it seams this doesn't have a huge effect on most people, and we can see that with guys like Kenneth Faired (spelling?) of the Denver Nuggets who was raised by two women but is not gay. So, either a mutation has occurred that is directly related to the environment of the mother of the gay person to alter their genes to make them gay, or it by choice. Since there's no conclusive evidence of one specific gene that makes you gay, which there shouldn't be on the bases of natural selection, then it seams that by choice should be heavily considered. Personally, I believe that there is psychological changes that occur to gay people that they can't control, but I believe those changes are due to imbalances of the brain that are directly influenced from their environment either during birth or after it. Basically, I believe that gay people may not be able to control gay thoughts, but those gay thoughts occurred because of something they were exposed to during or after birth. Not because of some random gay gene. Just my two cents and to each their own as I have nothing against the gay community as long as they are understanding that many people don't support that lifestyle, which personally I don't.

When I imagine Griner nekkid, you do not want to see the various images I can picture in @ 10 seconds. This is when I wonder if I am nuts. Pun intended.

What about women who are born with underdeveloped reproductive organs who will never be able to have children? Men who are born sterile? See? Not everybody's sole purpose for existence is reproduction.
