Where the h-ll did you hear that from? Utter tosh.

Gareth coming out is big news in union, why not ask the question - is it an issue in League. Clearly it's not a major issue, since enough posters think it's a non-issue, but it still is a subject of discussion as apparently "gay men lack testosterone and aren't made for our collision sport". I guess, conversely, Lesbians having extra testosterone would make them good league players ...

(Please ask a GCSE biology teacher to explain hormones)

WTF?

Anyone else smell an autobiography on the way?

It shouldn't. Nobody should feel they have to hide their sexuality but at the same time nobody should be expected to make a big thing about their sexuality and 'go public' either.

It's already out & he didn't mention it at all. Maybe he had been tipped off that he was going to be outed by some scum journo & got in before them. Interesting to hear the guy from the gay rugby club on Radio 5 this morning saying that all the teams & county rfu members totally accepted them but the gay press where against them & played up to the stereotype that gay men don't like sport.

In which case what makes someone gay?

A lot of lesbians are chubby and look like fellas, most gays i've met are very feminine, didn't want to sound controversial i've just not come across many 'muscular' gay fellas. I put it down to a lack of testosterone, it's hardly something i've put a lot of research into

Didnt the RFL do some kind of promo with the charity Stonewall??? IIRC they did.



There is of course a problem with RL players who are gay feeling they could admit it. But no more than society in general.

Have you been watching Brasseye?



=#0000FFSir Hugh Maharggs: "Homosexuals can't swim, they attract enemy radar, they attract sharks, they nudge people when they're trying to shoot, they always insist on sitting at "The Captain's Table"... they *muck about*. Imagine... the fear... when you go to sleep with a gay man on board and think "Oh God, when I wake up, will everyone be dead?" You can't run a ship like that...."

LOL

no. Many people have wrong assumptions, mine was obviously one of them. I aint the first and I wont be the last

Being sexually attracted to a member of the same sex?



Or are you asking a more offensive question, suggesting there's something wrong or unnatural about being homosexual?

I was suggesting there must be a physiological difference yes
