Still A Long Way To Go...

In sport guys can be affectionate when they win, like a slap on the bum, a kiss or maybe walking hand in hand into the locker rooms, right? Well, wrong. Very wrong. The basketball team the Toronto Raptors where in the middle of a 6 game losing streak but last week their fortune turned and the team won. Good. Right? Well yes, but what happened after was not good, according to many, many basketball fans.

Leonardo Barbosa, a player who scored some 14 points during the game, took the hand of fellow teammate Reggie Evans en route to the locker room. This light-hearted gesture which meant nothing and lasted 10 seconds, if that, caused a HUGE "no-homo" backlash on the net and the clip was flooded with THOUSANDS of homophobic comments. They were so nasty and offensive that the comments section has now been disabled.

This is really sad... what the fuck are people so afraid of? These guys aren't even gay! They were just playing around and they still get verbal abuse? I can only imagine what would happen if there were players that were actually gay and showed some REAL display of affection! There is such an intense homophobic culture surrounding a lot of sports, this is why very few athletes are willing to come out!

Watch the 10 sec clip that started it all the uproar.

I have lost hope in human intelligence. Everywhere I go, I see idiots, bigots, brainless human flesh wobbling along in their pathetic life full of pathetic nonsense. I have lost entire hope in anything human. Human beings just make me want to puke. Nothing decent is left, only the vulgar baseness of the human idiots. Three cheers for the Human Idiot! Be an idiot, live as an idiot and die as an idiot!

How the fans behaved over this gesture is disgusting, but to be honest I AM NOT SURPRISED as they are Americans. The Americans are usually one of the first countries to show their fist to other countries regarding Human rights offences and other matters, however in the USA the system and the culture of the people there is just as vile as they were back in the dark ages. Jesus said: even the wicked give good gifts to their children. America like many other countries build their institutions and culture on hate in almost a coltish manner where as if you don't follow their ideologies they turn on you, but when you see people from these bastard institutions with their families and friends you would be so shocked that the bastard from the morning is the saint in the evening. Two faced and cruel bastard people. But not to worry, God is expanding hell for a reason and these homophobic gay haters will find out why God is doing so. When they drop dead. xx

it is quite obvious that the guy on the right was the only one who wanted to hold hands as he started it. the guy on the left did not grip his hand around his friends and was quite amused by the idea of it as you could tell.

Even so, the outcome is so pathetic, ppl need to learn to accept it and there should not be any fear of man on man affection, whether its gay or straight. I've knoww my best mate for 24 years and we are both 25, i am gay and he is straight. he puts kisses in texts and says 'i love you' to me at the end of every call and i say it back. i asked him why and he says because you never know what life throws at you, one of us could die the second after the call ends and he wouldnt want either of us to go without knowing what we mean to each other.

Its a shame not everyone feels or acts like this!

I agree with Sascha. It seems that when it comes to damning someone else for their intentions, be them generic or playful or just being a joke,.. these pieces of flesh that call themselves human are always quick to stand with the fold.  However, when it comes to standing with the fold to give you life for that belief and to protect their RIGHT to speck it,... they crawl back under the slimy,dark and rot infested rocks that they live.  It takes a real strong man to take the pain and abuse of an invisible monster.
