LeBron James Comments On John Amaechi

The Cavaliers’ LeBron James said he is unsure how he would react if he knew one of his teammates was gay, but the biggest issue for James is whether a teammate would keep his homosexuality a secret. “We’re like family and you take showers with each other,” James said Wednesday. “We’re on the bus together and we talk about a lot of things and if you’re not trustworthy, like admitting you’re gay, you can’t be trusted. It’s a trust factor.”

  1. I guarantee every male athlete in America has gotten naked with many gay men. And by the way, it is exceedingly egotistical of any heterosexual to think that a gay man will make a pass at him. Often, even the best looking men are utterly repulsive, especially if they think a gay men will fall at their feet. I wish every heterosexual could be gay for just one day. Then you would realize just how inaccurate and inappropriate your concerns are.

  2. So Russell, in all seriousness, are you gay? Are you asking Tom if he’s gay because you’re curious and you need a date? Why can’t any heterosexual man speak in favor of a homosexual man? And so what if he is gay. Jesus, men are so fucking insecure about their sexuality. Thank God I’m a woman.

  3. if iv interpreted this right, this is a really bad response from lebron, and im suprised it hasnt been more widely published.
    hes basically saying if you’re gay you cant be trusted isnt he?
    “and if you’re not trustworthy, like admitting you’re gay, you can’t be trusted.”
    not surprising that the nba protects its little cover boy.
    im straight by the way, not that it matters. but i dont see how being gay effects anything. gay isnt a disease, john amaechi isnt going to try to bum his team mates in the lockerroom now hes out as gay. fucking stupid and it says a lot about america that theres this much discussion about it.
