People are too sensitive. So, sensitive, in fact, that when there IS an issue, we sleep on it. Had that guy asked Shaq to do anything with a kiss, it would have been weird. Why? Because Shaq doesn't kiss men, that I know of. It is not homophobic to think it's weird to do things that you don't do. if gay people who known for "fist-kiss" then there may be something to this. Would it be sexist for me to not want to "fist-kiss" a woman? Of course not. We should really be calling out the racism and homophobia within the gay community instead of looking for the media's short comings. I am losing respect for some gay people and GLAAD. I guest that makes me homophobic, too. This is sad that we are even discussing this, and now ESPN had pulled the ad. People are too sensitive.
