Judge Rules Gay League Can Limit Number of Heterosexual Players

It's the stupidest thing. I heard it's a reaction to the Boy Scouts ruling. The fact that someone can take issue on moral grounds to homosexuality is reasonable; even if you disagree, there are religious positions that are long standing on the matter. To take issue against a team because they kicked your ass in a game and then blame it on the fact that they had too many straight players is laughably pathetic...

So it's "reasonable" for heterosexuals to choose who they want in their private leagues, but it's somehow NOT "reasonable" for homosexuals to expect the same right...

Another shining example of Ice Dunce's well known double standard.
 
The North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance oversees gay softball leagues in dozens of U.S. cities and runs an annual tournament called the Gay Softball World Series. Three men claim in a lawsuit filed last year that their team’s second-place finish in the 2008 tournament in Washington state was nullified because they are bisexual, not gay, and thus their team exceeded the limit of two non-gay players.

[U.S. District Judge John] Coughenour did say that questions remain about the way the softball association applied its rule, including whether the questions asked about the men’s sexuality at a protest hearing were unnecessarily intrusive. Therefore, the case can proceed toward a trial set for Aug. 1, he said.

The men say that they were unfairly questioned about their sexuality in front of an audience and that the group listening to their responses held a vote to determine whether or not they were actually gay.

The men’s lawsuit alleges that they were individually questioned about their sexuality – in a room containing as many as 25 people. Panel members then voted on whether they men were gay or not.

Seattle attorney Michael Reiss, for NAGAA, said the organisation would ‘vigorously dispute’ the men’s version of events.

Suzanne Thomas, for the the men and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said: ‘No one should have to go through what they experienced.’
