I liked this comment from Deadspin: "Not sure if he realizes it, but if you've watched two seasons of True Blood you're actually already gay."

Herremans' tweets aren't the most offensive thing I've seen, but it's good that he apologized and without reservations. It's another sign that jocks can't get away with public denigration of gays any more without being called on it.
