What the fucking hell!?!

Dude, I know bisexuals tend to get the short end of the stick in GLBT organizations, but this is one of the worst I've heard of. If I was on that team, I would walk.

Apparently you didn't get the memo. Bisexual men, like unicorns do not exist. Bisexual women only exist for the purpose of gratifying straight male threesome fantasies.
I've had this problem dealing with lesbians, too. One actually had the gall to tell me if I wasn't in a committed, monogamous relationship with a woman I was "nothing" and "didn't count." It sucks to be hosed with homophobia by the homos.

So here's the best part (NB: This is not actually the best part). Those three players were not the only bisexual players to come under scrutiny from the people running the league, and strangely enough, the players who got the okay to continue playing were white.

Oh, and one of the commenters there (comments here, unlike Towleroad, are idiocy-free) found the league's mission statement, as follows: "Created in 1977, the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA) is a 501c(3) organization that promotes amateur sports competition, particularly softball, for all persons regardless of age, sexual orientation or preference, with special emphasis on the participation of members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community: and to otherwise foster national and international sports competition by planning, promoting and carrying out amateur sports competition."

So they're not just biphobic assholes (which is enraging enough on its own), they're lying, racist biphobic assholes. AWESOME! D:

This seems like another case of shit rolling downhill. Exclusivity turning the outcasts into the oppressors.

God, Monkeys suck sometimes!

Wanna trade in our human cards and go join the bonobos?
