Yes, we all have to buy those last minute gifts for those relatives that our significant others are requiring us to get something for. (Lousy in-laws…) But anyway, if you’re looking for something last minute, here’s an article that lists the worst possible gift ideas you can get for your baseball lovin’ gift recipient. Share [...]

Sepp Blatter’s non-apology for gay remark
Sepp Blatter, the president of world soccer’s governing body FIFA, has issued the classic “non-apology apology” for his comments that gays attending the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should remain from having sex. “It was not my intention and never will be my intention to go into any discrimination,” he said. “If somebody feels hurt, [...]
Video: NFL players discuss gay players
As part of the debut of “Out. The Glenn Burke Story,” Comcast SportsNet Bay Area had a series of panels discussing the issues of gays in sports (see whole list). I watched a panel with former NFL players Bill Romanowski and Loreno Neal, along with sportswriter Ray Ratto. It was a good discussion, with Romanowski [...]
No Yankees. No Phillies. No problem.
Just a week or so ago, most people were probably imagining a rematch of last year’s Fall Classic participants, the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. Alas, both teams failed to win there respective leagues and instead the uncanny San Francisco Giants and the resilient Texas Rangers are facing off in the 2010 World [...]
Hudson Taylor’s NoH8 photos
Former champion collegiate wrestler Hudson Taylor is a huge advocate for gay rights. Cyd and I interviewed him for our weekly podcast that is worth checking out. Taylor and his fiancee Lia Alexandra Mandaglio were also out in Los Angeles recently to appear in the NoH8 photo campaign to raise awareness of gay rights. He [...]
Lincecum or Halladay: Whose balls to face?
Personally, I would prefer to face Ian Kinsler’s balls but he isn’t a pitcher so that is for a completely different forum. The American and National League Championship Series is about to begin and all of the pitching match ups are intriguing. The Bear vs. The Twink: What better drama than Roy Halladay, the seasoned [...]
Baseball or boyfriend?
This is a tough weekend to be a baseball fan and a loving boyfriend. Personally, I have a few conflicts… First conflict: My sister is coming to town for the weekend and she is excited about the big art extravaganza taking place just a stone’s throw from Turner Field where the Atlanta Braves will be [...]
Things are getting wild (Spoiler alert!)
This time of year separates the men from the boys so to speak. Either your team is in it or you are watching from the bench. With less than two weeks to play, there are only four teams left in the American League with post season aspirations, five if you count the Boston Red Sox [...]
Does watching ‘Glee’ make you gay?
I have been very frustrated with the way the Atlanta Braves have been playing the past couple of weeks. I never thought the Braves were going to run away with the National League East nor did I expect the Phillies were going to fade away. In fact I expect the race for this division to [...]
Gay football player on “Degrassi”
We mentioned yesterday that the show “Glee” will have a character who is a gay quarterback. We now hear from a reader that the show “Degrassi” already has introduced a character, Riley, who is a gay football player. “Degrassi” is a Canadian show that can be seen on Teen Nick in the U.S. Never having [...]
Van Raaphorst speaks to Edmonton sports group
Billy Van Raaphorst, the openly gay umpire who was the subject of a homophobic tirade by a manager who has since lost his job, spoke in Edmonton last weekend. What is cool is that Van Raaphorst was invited to Edmonton by the company that owns the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton Capitals, the minor [...]
Porn stars: Free BJ’s if Dutch win World Cup
There are 49,000 f0llowers of porn star Bobbi Eden rooting for the Netherlands to beat Spain in the World Cup final. If the Dutch win, Eden has promised them all blow jobs. They would be joined by the combined 62,000 followers of Vicky Vette, Missy Hybrid and Gabby Quniteros, porn stars who have also promised [...]
Stanley Cup at Chicago gay pride parade a first
When the news came this week that the Stanley Cup trophy would be a part of this weekend’s Chicago gay pride parade, I assumed it was a first but not totally sure. Now, in a terrific column on the significance of the event, AP sports columnist Jim Litke says this has never happened before. Last [...]
Eagles trade Donovan McNabb to the Redskins
Wow, this is a real WTF? moment — the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday traded 10-year quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. All the Eagles got in return was Washington’s second-round pick this year (No. 37 overall) and either a third- or fourth-rounder next year. That seems like a small amount to get for a [...]
Terrell Owens comes out
Ending years of speculation, NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens announced today that he is a “proud gay African-American.” While Owens is not with a team, he is the first active NFL player to come out. Because of Owens’ bigger-than-life personality, his obsession with his body, and his onfield antics, Owens has been the subject of [...]
