Is recruiting still the biggest challenge for an openly gay coach?

[marylander1940]

The next time Division I men's basketball's first openly gay coach visits talent-rich St. Andrew's School, he can expect to be treated the same as he has always been.

 

St. Andrew's coach Mike Hart intends to swap stories and crack jokes with Chris Burns just like he did before the Bryant University assistant revealed his sexuality in a first-person essay published Thursday morning.

 

"Today's announcement doesn't change what I think of Chris at all," Hart said. "He's a top-level recruiter, he's funny as hell and he's a great guy. I hope one day a couple of our kids go to Bryant because it's such a great school and he's a tremendous ambassador for it."

Please le me know if there's any previous talk about this and one more thing... so many hot porno about a gay coach. LOL. Sorry I had to say it...

I've always felt that a person's sexual preferences should not define them. There is so much more to a person than his sexuality. It's only a part of who we are, not the "all" of who we are. If I were Chris Burns' friend or professional associate, I really wouldn't care who he slept with. (unless he was my lover) As our society moves toward acceptance, I suspect that we'll be hearing of a lot of people who are gay/straight/in-the-middle or whatever. I just don't think it's news worthy, it's private, and as I said unless I want to be your lover, I don't give a f**k who you sleep with.
