Never quite understood why sexual orientation should be such a touchy subject. Dont people earning completely different salaries... some with atleast 3 - 4 more digits added... (David Beckham is uspposed to earn 150 millions in 2 years fro Adidas ALONE) share the same dressing room ? Why isnt that much of a subject of debate ? Why should sexual orientation be of more importance ?

Are most straight men afraid that homosexuals would lech on them ? Are they likening all homosexuals to be sexual predators? This is indeed sad.

With many metrosexuals amongst the footballers these days, this topic is quite relevant. What if a homosexual finds a David Beckham or Freddie Ljungberg attractive inside the dressing room and something untoward happens? :)

Why? What would happen if someone of the same sex finds you attractive ? Are you suggesting that guys don't like to be leched at? How does it matter if the lecher is a guy or a girl?

When it comes to rape/fondling, it is equally offensive if a girl/guy rapes you. It is also not necessary that if a homosexual finds another straight person attractive, he will molest the target only in the restroom/dressing room. We would have to build whole new cities and divide people according to their sexual orientation....

This leads me to one parallel question... why arent ladies so opposed to lesbians and lesbianism as do the guys. I have never heard of a homophobic lady... who detests lesbians. Please educate me if there are any.
