millerx Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Judge Rules Gay League Can Limit Number of Heterosexual Players A federal judge ruled Thursday that a gay softball league can limit the number of heterosexuals on its teams, the Courthouse News Service reports. The ruling was announced after three bisexual men claimed they were kicked out of the Gay Softball World Series for not being gay enough and filed a lawsuit in Washington state against the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Association. The three men, playing for a San Francisco softball team, were challenged on their sexuality by a rival team, citing a rule that limits no more than two heterosexuals on a team. The men claim they were "summoned to a hearing room to answer questions about their sexual interests or attractions," according to the Courthouse News Service. The men said they were told that "this is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series." U.S. District Court Judge John Coughenour struck down the lawsuit. "Plaintiffs have failed to argue that there is a compelling state interest in allowing heterosexuals to play gay softball," Coughenour wrote, according to the Courthouse News Service. "It is not the role of the courts to scrutinize the content of an organization's chosen expression." The judge did rule the association failed to prove it should not be subjected to public-accommodation laws. A trial date has been set for Aug. 1.

Jackass Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Have any of them set any records? If so, they're gonna have to have an asterik next to them. Are any members in the Gay hall of fame that aren't gay? I mean sure they can kick them out of the league. But there are repercussions that go way beyond anyone has ever thought of.

tazinib1 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Question is, why the Ginsu would you wanna play in the Ghey World Series if your not ghey? Not good enough to play on a regular team? Sounds like a few confused Sally's to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 problem with a gay softball league is that their extra curricular stuff leads to a lot of foul balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 What I don't get is who is gonna play the other positions? I mean... they are all pitchers and catchers... Besides the fact they would be either in"fielders" or out"fielders"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 One has only to ask, would the Judge have made the same ruling if a heterosexual league wanted to keep out the gheys? Word is that they make a ton of money in concessions just on hot dog sales alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REZ Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 One has only to ask, would the Judge have made the same ruling if a heterosexual league wanted to keep out the gheys? I was wondering that. Imagine the outcry if they did. Awhile ago I umpired a softball league and one year a all homosexual team joined. They were one of the better teams in the league. It was funny how some of the teams would be mumbling that they couldn't understand how they were losing to a bunch of f*&s........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennykravitz2004 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 What are the uniforms like? Does every team wear assless chaps? That's gotta hurt when sliding. Unless, of course, instead of eye black on their face, they use KY Jelly on their... ah, nevermind. I've probably already gone too far.
