Rules say that you can have no more than two heterosexual players on your team and three men were ruled “nongay” during the Gay Softball World Series and their team was stripped of its second-place finish. And now they’re suing:
Three bisexual men are suing a national gay-athletic organization, saying they were discriminated against during the Gay Softball World Series held in the Seattle area two years ago.
The three Bay Area men say the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance in essence deemed them not gay enough to participate in the series.
The story is in The Seattle Times.
Like performance enhancing drugs, teams are sometimes motivated to break the rules and acquire more straight players than the rules allow. However, the plaintiff’s attorney noted that the Gay Softball Alliance has “no category or definition for bisexual or transgender people in its rules” and claim that one of the plantiffs was told that “This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series.”
Update: Dan Savage got wind of the story and discussions are going on right now here.
Why can't we all get along regardless of the genitalia that we enjoy fondling?
