The reason men and women have separate locker rooms or bathrooms is because the sexuality between the two sides. That is not to say that a man or a woman could not share the same locker room and not oogle each other. Women wouldn't want men in their locker room while they are changing and vice versa...because of the sexuality between the two.
If an gay athlete 'comes out', then they should realize that because of their expressed sexuality being for the same sex, then they will be treated like the opposite sex.
If walls are set up between men and women because of the possibility of perversion, then walls should be set up between gay and straight, due to that same perversion.

It's not going to be necessary because an active NBA player will never come out the closet. There are way too many players in the NBA that feel the same way Tim Hardaway, Paul Pierce, and Steven Hunter feel about homosexuals. It's too big of a risk to come out.

Are you serious??? NO the NBA is a BUSINESS!!! Players should just get over the fact that somebody is gay and just go out and play the game like they are supposed to do as a job. This is like asking if they should have a separate locker room for blacks and whites... There's no question about it. NO

good question. Honestly, i think so for the same reason that they have seperate sex locker rooms. But, there are not enough gay players to warrant this type of investment and many less gay players would come out if they were forced to have a seperate locker (and I am not calling gay people perverted, i would just think they would view it is as weird that they are forced to have a seperate locker)

I've been following this whole gay-NBA-player tempest, and I think it's really stupid. Fer gosh sakes, what does basketball have to do with someone's sexuality? Why would anyone care if someone is gay if they're helping the team win (which benefits everyone)?
What drives me crazy is that it's apparent that the guys in the NBA cannot accept a colleague who is gay, even if this colleague is in a committed monogamous gay relationship. But they happily accept all the adulterous heterosexual relationships that go on, and even help each other hide relationships from wives and girlfriends. And let's not even get started about all the players who would have sex with the groupies and any other random woman they can persuade to have sex with them.
I honest to god feel that if these NBA homophobic hypocrits are going to make noises about not liking gay players, they better also start deploring the adultery and loose sex that goes on too.

do not flatter your self. basically because you've a penis would not advise you're eye-catching, maximum adult men in activities are not eye-catching in the least. That being suggested, regardless of in the adventure that they were i does no longer examine them out. I actually have appreciate for peoples privateness and that i does no longer look (regardless of if i needed to, and my crew isn't some thing to envision). to boot, in the previous or after a recreation, no one cares about sex. you're hurrying up and replacing so that you'll warmth up or bypass domicile.

NO, I am a gay male and when I go to lockrooms I do not oogle and go nuts (no pun). I do not agree with that basketball player coming out. Gay people are so persecuted and picked on because they just need to blend in, why the need to make big splashes and announcements. If he did not have that book whould he have come out....anyway separate lockers is not needed.

No, because that is the dumbest thing I ever heard of. You can't become gay from being in the same locker room with a homosexual or he/she will jump you.
Who cares what their sexuality is as long as they can play ball? Isn't that the whole point of being in the NBA is to play ball?

What is it about straight men that think they're so hot that every gay man on the earth wants to jump their bones? You didn't hear women in the WNBA going all crazy and homophobic when Sheryl Swoops came out. Guys, just get over yourselves. I find a man more manly when he is tolerent of gay people and secure enough in themselves to befriend them. I think men who try to prove their manliness and their straightness are wimpy and most likely closet homosexuals themselves or just plain insecure about their sexuality.

you really can't be serious.. Of course not they are the same gender.. Should they have one locker room for tall players and one for short players? One for American NBA players and one for Foreign NBA players. Where would we draw the line?
