LGBT Civil Rights and Activism

(I won't say it does not happen, but it shouldn't.)

I use the term 'jock' to refer to anyone who plays sports on a regular basis. However, the thing is this. Either we are for equality, or we are not. Every time we come up with exceptions, we undermine the entire concept. I would suggest that perhaps it is time to stop placing such importance on athletics, especially when they get to claim 'exemptions' to societal progress and/or current norms. (Now I will be the one blasted. Every time I mention how athletics get the special treatment in any school system, I get told all about how important they are. Yawn.) I actually like your idea of their being height and weight requirements for sports. I have known a few very tall people who played basketball in school solely because the coaches begged them to because of their heights. They were not necessarily that good at it, but having the height allowed them to have decent high school careers and a few even got to college with a scholarship. (Suffice to say, they did not pursue basketball once they graduated.)

Lastly, if you believe that Yahweh is responsible for everything, then I assure you he makes mistakes. I exist. That is evidence enough.
