Plonsky is the worst thing that has ever happened to Texas sports.

Swoopes left Texas because of the lesbians on our team. She and her mother talked about it at the time. Now she has come out, having been married to a man. She was running away from her feelings when she left UT.

True. And I caught a LOT of heat from some Tech friends over that at the time. Needless to say I retain a long memory and they cringed when Cheryl's closet door burst open.

Oh please, a business associate's daughter played volleyball at Tech in the mid-80's and she was straight. She says there was pressure to participate in extra curricular activities when the team played away games.

I don't think there was the implication of "pressure", per se, but rather an acknowledgement of a team's general makeup.

 

[TexanByChoice]

Well, then you can't use the term 'general', as that would indicate a majority; which wasn't the case.

 

[jimmyjazz]

Teams don't vary? Some aren't "generally" straight? Some aren't "generally" bi? Some aren't "generally" gay?

I don't think this is a discriminatory issue. I think it's an issue of recognizing the realities of specific situations.
