Reply to comment by Harry_Saturn in Czech Republic international Jakub Jankto announces he's gay. by PrincessBananas85

I'm saying the assumption that the demographics of gay people in sport has to be identical to the demographics of gay people in society and all the gay men are just hiding is erroneous and the fact the demographics of women's sport don't line up with society is proof. You seem to be taking this rather personally 🤣.

You’re moving the goal posts, that’s not what you said at first and what I replied to. You’re arguing with everyone in here and lost track of your points. I made a point about you saying “maybe gay people don’t have an affinity for sports”, that they’re not a monolith and it’s kinda shitty to just make that assumption, and now you’re trying to frame it like I said gay people must make the exact same proportional % of athletes in relation to their % of the general population. You’re definitely coming off as having some negative bias or weird agenda. Its getting harder to not just see you as someone who handpicks this or that stat when there is clear first hand accounts proving you wrong. It’s like you want a certain conclusion and now you just hyper focus and fixate on a single point so you just work backwards to reinforce what you want to believe. It’s not working bro, there’s literally gay athletes who have been clear that they didn’t come out until retirement because they didn’t want to have unfair biases against them in an already extremely competitive career. I’m done here, you can reply if you want, but at best you’re ignorant and at worst you’re dishonest, but I’m done arguing about it.

I'm not moving the goalposts at all, this is what I replied to;

>It’s news because it’s pro sports. Statistically, there should be at the very least 2-3 gay players on any team in any sport. But the number of openly gay pro athletes is nowhere near that, and in many sports you don’t hear of any gay athletes. So when one decides to be open about their sexuality, it’s a big deal and should be underlined and celebrated.

I am refuting that with facts and you started getting defensive for some bizarre reason. You're the one with the agenda.
