So ex-NBA star Tim Hardaway hates gay people! SO WHAT?!?!?
I am so confused. I hate dogs, does that make me caninephobic?
This makes no sense....he doesn't like gay people....how is that bad? I am sick of hypocrites and people plastering this all over the web!

Thats up to Tim Hardaway. It's his opinion and he has every right to exppress it. Everyone just needs to grow up.

Tim Hardaway---may have issues with his own sexuality even though he may or may not have ever had sex with a man. He may just be worried that these gay men would get annoying in the locker room....i mean hey...sometimes I would get upset if a girl who I don't like was looking at me.
HOWEVER
being told that I'm cute or attractive is always a compliment I'm always ready for.
And it's no different when a man says that I'm attractive. Sure I may not be attracted to them...i don't feel uncomfortable when another guy looks at me in the locker room...provided that they don't get annoying. I've been to gyms in Hollywood were I'm sure gay guys were at....I was naked and I really didn't care. I'm ok...why wouldn't Tim Hardaway....he just have issues with himself....EVERYBODY IS A LITTLE ATTRACTED TO THEIR OWN SEX....it's when you have issues that you start to hate other groups

first of all, hate is such a strong word. why do you hate dogs??? you hate dogs??? that's crazy. i dislike cats, but i would never ever say i hate them. i totally agree with the comment made by Fleur...where does it stop?? where does the discrimination and ignorance end? everyone is not perfect, and everyone is not always going to agree on everything, that's what makes this world so beautiful...our differences. but for someone to degrade those differences but because they are what they are...different, there's a problem there. you not caring about his statement is also kind of alarming to me. you know no one on this earth that is homosexual at all??? no one that was hurt by hardaway's statement. if you don't, maybe you need to open your eyes to the world you live in. it's a huge issue, his statement. it just goes to show that we as human still have a lot of growing up to do. even though i am hetero-sexual, his statement hurts me just as much as any racial slur does or anything degrading said about women. you're putting someone down because of their life-style. and that's wrong. none of us are God. we have no right to decide what's considered right or wrong when it comes to homosexuality. that's something that each person, gay or straight must take up with their God. I'll leave you with this: people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Well....lets see how this is bad....hes a black guy and yet a complete bigot!!!! How can anyone who obviously has to know of the struggles that blacks have gone through to get respect, go around and pass his judgement the way he did.
As for your hate for dogs....what I'm sick of is trash like you going around comparing gay people to animals. I've heard several morons going around saying....well if we let gay people get married, what happens when people want to marry their cats or their dogs.
WTF is that, you and Tim Hardaway are both morons and total disgraces to the human race.

Okay, you hate dogs. Pause. Let me repeat. You hate dogs.
Let's hate black people and Jew's and Muslims- oh screw it-- how about all people with dark eyes and hair, and we will call ourselves Nazi's.
Hating people is bad for the soul. You can 'not agree' with someone, that is one thing, but to come out and say you hate a group of people. Come on! That sucks.

We are here to witness, not to judge and condemn.
I am not a religious man, but almost joined a church when I saw that posted outside of it.

Its just that he is a public figure. and for a public figure to come out and say something like that it hits hard for some people. I do understand where you are coming from though.

You can't compare hating humans to hating animals.
