“It’s because straight men are naturally wired to abhor sexual contact from other men”

You fail to connect a straight men not wanting to have gay sex themselves (using “abhor” is a little strong, btw) and not wanting anyone to have gay sex. One’s own preferences don’t have anything to do with interfering with another’s preferences. I might never want to step foot inside a NASCAR race, but I don’t give a damn if others do or are allowed to, or are in the locker room with me.

Proof? The aversion men have to contact with other men is not natural but learned from social conventions about gender roles and masculinity.

Didn’t the last commisioner have a gay son and got players involved with various GBTL groups, oddy enough I think Strahan was involved. Did anybody see the story about NFL players and their brains? We probably shouldn’t put a whole lot into what they think, though I agree with the two players on this issue. Every locker room has at least a gay player or two and these guys know that.

Steve Young is also OK with gay marriage:

But Jeff Kent isn’t:

Then again, Kent hates Vin Scully, so who cares what he thinks?
