Players Kicked out of Gay Softball World Series because they weren't "Gay Enough"


(NewsCore) - SEATTLE -- A gay softball association in the US can limit the number of heterosexual players on its teams, a federal judge ruled Thursday. The decision to allow the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Association (NAGAAA) to enforce a rule of two "straight" players came in a lawsuit filed by three bisexual men who claim they were kicked out of the Gay Softball World Series because they "weren't gay enough," the Courthouse News Service reported.  The suit was sparked when three men playing for a San Francisco-based team in the Gay Softball World Series in Washington state in 2008 were challenged about their sexuality by a rival team. According to their complaint, the trio were summoned to a hearing room and quizzed about their sexual interests or attractions in front of around 25 people. The men said organizers told them, "This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series."

The irony is not lost on me that the Gay World Series is played over a game of Softball instead of baseball.  Stereotyping at its best.

So many questions, yet so little to blog about, this article practically wrote the blog for me.  Like that last line, "This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series," comeon bro, that was going to be my line, you stole it, now what am I supposed to go with here?

I do still wonder what the questions were that they asked the gay-poseurs, and why were so many people necessary for the interview, did some kind of unspeakable act take place? Involving a circle? I shudder the thought. 

Were the questions multiple choice? Was a scantron involved? Were they all penis vs. vagina and boobs related?  If anyone from the NAGAAA is reading this and isn't completely offended, please contact me as I'd like to interview you as a follow up to this article. Someone needs to do their job and get to the bottom of this.
