		<description>Emile is a gentle and proud man who&#039;s overcome alot and it&#039;s a shame that he&#039;s had to keep his sexuality quiet for so much of his life. I truly wish him the very best the rest of the way. I hope people find inspiration from his sense of decency and honor. Thanks Emile - you&#039;re still the champ.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know guys. I was a young teenager back in 1965 when three of his &quot;gay&quot; friends tried to molest me in their apartment. Three black men. I was tricked into going into the apartment in the Park Slope/Flatbush (near Bedford Sty) section of Brooklyn. I was looking for another friend who said he was living with emile. I&#039;ll never forget that terror I felt. I didnt even know who he was at the time. A boxer was all I knew. Gay is OK. Child molestation sucks.</description>

		<description>&quot;Homosexuality is not an unforgiveable sin but it is still a sin that can be forgiven if someone turns away from it.&quot;

get a grip, kent!
your desires are not your sin.
if you have &quot;sinned&quot; , the sin is of not being kind to another person&#039;s kindness?</description>

		<description>&quot; . . . So who am I to say that another’s sin is worse than my own sin? . . . &quot;

You&#039;re delusional is what you are.  You live your life by a book written hundreds of years ago by men (not Gods) no more divinely inspired than either you or I.  

When are all the Christians in the world going to wake up and realize their religion of Jesus and all their so-called saints is no different than the ancient religions of the Greeks and Romans?  And how do people today view those ancient religions?

People hundreds and thousands of years from now (hopefully sooner) are going to look back at Christianity, shake their heads, smirk and ask, &quot;Were people really that gullible or stupid back then?&quot;</description>

		<description>Homosexuality is not an unforgiveable sin but it is still a sin that can be forgiven if someone turns away from it.

People though should not be abusive and hateful towards people who live the gay lifestyle as it is just one sin that people commit and as Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, &quot;he who is without sin cast the first stone&quot; and no one, except God himself, Jesus in the flesh in that instance, had the right to judge her but he didn&#039;t condemn her but he said &quot;go and sin no more.&quot;

However, as Christians it is our duty to tell people what God&#039;s word, the Bible, says and it says that homosexuality is a sin but it up to the individual to believe what it says on the subject or not believe what it says.

I don&#039;t condemn Mr. Griffith at all as in my past I was a fornicator as I have never been married and I have had sex outside of marriage which the Bible also says is a sin but God forgives me for it.

So who am I to say that another&#039;s sin is worse than my own sin?</description>

		<description>canadalaw,

Thanks for setting the record &#039;straight&#039;.  I knew there was a Canadian boxer (Olympics) who had come out; I had seen an interview on &quot;Shout&quot; (OutTV) but for the life of me I couldn&#039;t remember his name!  My only excuse is it going to 6 in the morning and I&#039;ve been up all night!!!</description>

		<description>Wow, those are very strong words in the quote. Leave it to the big sports media to not even do any kind of story on this since boxing is so macho they&#039;d rather side step it (get it?)</description>
