LRC. This thread was initially titled, "Yared Nuguse is Gay: Hard launch post on Insta"
3/30 update: We are closing this thread to new posts. I did an ok job of following it for a few pages and moderating it but now am 10+ pages behind. The thread has served its purpose - the news has gotten out and people have reacted to it - we don't need pages and pages of the same discussion.
Hats off to the brave and the proud gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and nonbinary individuals making American track and field great again!
Where are the red capped members of the master race in our sport? It must be difficult losing to all of these DEI athletes despite all of the hard work and prayer?
Athletics is meritocratic. Who crosses the line first wins.
DEI would mean that athletes would be assigned time handicaps and that certain athletes would be excluded because of quotas.
So what if he is....over 1 out of 8 people in the world is known to be gay, bisexual, transgender. We each have to live and die for ourselves, live your life!
Does that mean every eighth poster here is either gay, bi, or trans?

I don't understand the need to falsify statistics. No way it's even close to 1 out of 8. I feel like it's a weird attempt to justify homosexuality, as in if there are X% of people who are gay, then it must be OK. But why do people feel the need to justify anything? The Western world has largely accepted homosexuality or at least is tolerant of it.
Yared has to be thankful that his parents left Ethiopia - it's definitely not 1 out of 8 there.
Yeah, the most reliable statistic for gays measures what we actually do and how our brains react to men/women. For example in okCupid, of the people who reported themselves to be bisexuals 85% either only messaged same sex people or only the opposite sex. This shows that when people operate in anonymous and judgment free environments they are almost exclusively interested in one sex.
The data from dating apps and also from MRI scans tell the same story. ~3% of men only get aroused by other men. Pictures of attractive women don't do anything. Nothing happens in the brain areas determining arousal.
Pride Month is a time to celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community and honor the 1969 Stonewall Riots, so we hope you will join us this month and every month. This month, we want to highlight some LGBTQ+ runners we think y...
If approximately 8% of U.S. men identify as gay, this means in the NCAA Div 1 cc, there were probably 16 to 20 gays in the field of 200+. Obviously not all of them reveal their status. Pragmatics.
Why is it that in women's professional sports the percentage is much higher compared with men and nobody bats an eyelid? Interesting.
Great guy, great athlete, terrific for the sport. This is totally unsurprising for a guy with a pet tortoise who somehow can stand Taylor Swift. He had to do this otherwise he would have had to constantly fear outing. He should be able to live his life openly like any straight person, acknowledge his partner, go out in public with him, etc.
So what if he is....over 1 out of 8 people in the world is known to be gay, bisexual, transgender. We each have to live and die for ourselves, live your life!
