https://deadspin.com/minnesota-uniteds-collin-martin-comes-out-as-gay-1827243688

Minnesota United midfielder Collin Martin became the only active openly gay man in American sports on Friday, coming out publicly with a message on Twitter and a very cool photo ahead of his team’s Pride Night game.

From the note:

“I have been out as a gay man for many years to my family and friends, and this includes my teammates. I have played Major League Soccer for 6 seasons: 4 seasons with DC United and 2 seasons with Minnesota United. Today, I’m proud that my entire team and the management of Minnesota United know that I am gay. I have received only kindness and acceptance from everyone in Major League Soccer and that has made the decision to come out publicly that much easier.”

While this is a cool story, he better hurry up if he wants to get married to another man.

Minnesota allowed gay marriage starting in 2013. I don’t see what would change that.

A Supreme Court, maybe.

State’s Rights Conservatives only give a shit about state’s rights when the state agrees with their position.

Youre painting with an awfully broad brush. I don’t know who said what to make you think that.

Abortion, gay marriage, etc. It’s a broad brush but it does create an accurate painting.

There are bits of truth in everyone’s posts on the 5 second rule (some more than others, granted).

5 seconds of just staring at someone is a long time but if it were a rule it could be abused or lead to misunderstanding.

Mostly I agree with Jay and mfm that we live in a messed up culture that finds this kind of standard reasonable.

I think many people are increasingly rule-bound in their thinking and that’s a problem.

If any of you have sons, consider helping them show interest in girls in ways other than staring at them. It’s a thin line between bashful and creep.

I think it’s sad that we live in a messed up culture that still encourages victim blaming.

oh ffs. Now because I think 5 seconds is to short a time, I’m victim blaming and/or encouraging victim blaming.

was that post about you?

I’m sure I was included.

Okay.

man, staring at someone and looking at the direction someone’s in is very clearly and very noticeably different.

How would you quantify that legally?

Who is talking about legal definitions? Wasn’t this 5-second-rule just part of a guideline to provide a rule of thumb? Why is everyone talking like this is a proposal for an actual law?

People love getting offended.

Especially by people staring at them.

If it’s a dispute between someone staring and someone being stared at, I’m definitely falling down on the side of the person being stared at. Didn’t know this was a controversial position to have. I thought everyone knew that staring is a weird and rude thing to do but guess not.

That’s why I said “amazing.” But I guess women deal with this shit every day whereas we just get to be occasionally baffled by it.
