TYREE: ‘Gay Marriage = Anarchy’

Spread The Love

What is it with these public personalities and their homosexual rants?

First it was comedian Tracy Morgan, who said during a recent Nashville stand-up routine that if his son came home and flamboyantly announced he was gay, he’d “stab that lil n*gga to death.”  Now, a sports star has decided it’s his turn to step into the quicksand and denounce gays and lesbians.

Retired NY Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl hero David Tyree inserted himself into the “gay” discussion, just as the NY State Assembly was passing legislation to allow same-sex marriage within the state. Speaking against gay marriage, the sports star unwisely felt the need to share this rather controversial opinion:

“This (Gay marriage) will be the beginning of our country’s sliding towards, you know, it’s a strong word, but ‘anarchy.’ The moment we have it, if you trace back even to other cultures, other countries, that will be the moment where our society and itself, loses its grip with what’s right. Marriage is one of those things that is the backbone of society.  How can marriage be marriage for thousands of years and now all the sudden because a minority, an influential minority, has a push or agenda … and totally reshapes something that was not founded in our country. You can’t teach something that you don’t have, so two men will never be able to show a woman how to be a woman.”

HUH???

How does a black man with any ounce of intelligence speak about upholding thousands of years of American tradition? Because if he truly believes that, his life would have been lived on a plantation working in the cotton fields, instead of on the football field.  Further, if Tyree is going to take the high road regarding what’s supposedly wrong or right, where was he during the divorce debate? Or the discussion on shotgun marriages, marriages of convenience, marriages for a green card, teen pregnancy, adultery, and premarital sex?

Ironically, Tyree’s teammate Michael Strahan is currently in support of same-sex marriage, and has even put his money where his mouth is by appearing in a TV ad to promote New Yorkers for Marriage Equality (the group behind much of the lobbying efforts of state lawmakers).  Strahan and his fiance’ Nicole Murphy, are shown in the video below, as well as David Tyree and his odd predictions of “anarchy.”

Oh when will these public figures stop inserting foot-in-mouth and realize everyone doesn’t care to hear, or share in their individual opinions?

David Tyree looks ignorant and sounds stupid. Moving on

<span>I wish we could "move on" BD but unfortunately these homobigots just keep spewing their venom!    Believe it or not this time it's CEE LO GREEN <side-eye>   US Weekly: June 19, 2011   Cee Lo Green came under fire Friday for sending a tweet that some deemed to be homophobic.   The "Forget You" singer sent the tweet to music editor Andrea Swensson after she negatively critiqued his Thursday performance with Rihanna at the Target Center in Minneapolis. </side-eye></span><span></span><span>"I respect your criticism, but be fair!" "The Voice" coach wrote Friday. "People enjoyed last night! I'm guessing you're gay? And my masculinity offended you? Well f— you!"   But Green, 37 — who later deleted the tweet — tells <span><span>Us Weekly </span></span>that he spoke too soon.   "She was very critical of me. At the time I didn't even know what gender the person was. I was being a little outspoken that night, a little outrageous," he… Read more »
