He's in a tough spot. His parents are evangelical Christian missionaries and he is open about his beliefs. Yet he's rarely seen with a woman. Clearly there is a struggle going on.

 

Of course he's not the only one in such a situation. Lots of gay kids have religious parents. How much good he could do for all the other gay kids with religious parents, kids who are terrified of being thrown out of the house, and worse, if they came out. He could set a life changing example for many. He was very brave on the football field. Hope someday he finds the courage to be who he is, whatever that may be.

Tim Tebow reportedly declined to counter white supremacist Richard Spencer's University of Florida speech

As University of Florida officials were preparing for their campus to host white supremacist Richard Spencer last month, they turned to alum Tim Tebow in an effort to bring the school together.

 

According to the Sun Sentinel, Nancy Chrystal-Green, senior director of student engagement at the University of Florida, worked with the athletic department to get a message to the former quarterback in early October while he was in the area around the time to shoot ESPN's "SEC Nation."

 

"One of the things we are doing is showing a virtual assembly during the speech," said Chrystal-Green. "We are getting in contact with famous alums asking to record a brief message of unity, togetherness, Gator Nation, etc.

 

"Obviously a message from Tim Tebow would be a great addition."

 

However, despite leading his Gators to two championships, Tebow reportedly declined, choosing to remain on the sidelines.

 

Along with prompting school officials to try and band together, Spencer's Oct. 19 event would also lead to Florida Gov. Rick Scott declaring a state of emergency in Alachua County.

 

Now a meme on the internet after he got punched in the head, the white supremacist previously headlined the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August, where a Nazi killed protester Heather Heyer by driving his car into a crowd of people.

 

Even without Tebow in the huddle though, several hundred protesters showed up to counter Spencer's speech thanks in part to the student body-made Facebook group "No Nazis at UF," whose slogan was "Gators Chomp Nazis."

 

Tebow failed to respond to a Daily News request for comment.
