Baylor Doesn't Like The Gay?


The girl on the left is Emily Nkosi who used to be Emily Niemann. The "Nkosi" name comes from the girl on the right who is now her Massachusetts sanctioned spouse. Yep, we're talking full blown lesbians.

But why do I care? I'll tell ya why. Emily used to play basketball for Baylor University. In fact, that girl fired off 19 points (5 of 8 from the three point line) when the Lady Bears opened a can of whoop arse on Michigan State and won the National Title two years ago. It was the happiest moment of my life except for seeing the birth of my first child (which has never actually happened - but I digress).

But then I read a couple of months after that momentous night that she had quit the team. "Why?" I cried into my pillow that night. "Why, Emily, are you leaving the only decent sports team that I've seen at Baylor in the last 15 years? Whatever it is, we can fix it!"

Two years later, I have my answer.

Emily, it seems, was afraid Baylor would be none to pleased if it was revealed she was a lesbian, and USA Today has finally printed her story. (Sheesh, even Bill O'Reilly has covered Baylor's lack of love for The Gay.)

What's the world coming to when a female college basketball player can't have an affinity for the same sex? It's enough to make me want to tear up my Baylor pennant.

Speaking of Baylor basketball, is everyone ready to see the Fightin' Texas Aggies beat the hell outta b.u. this weekend? WHOOP!

Assuming the human race is not wiped out by global warming(?), sometime, decades from now, history will universally condemn Baylor, its stupid policies, and the "teachings" on which they are based.

But for the time being, it is their school, they can run it according to whatever principles they like, and if they want to run The Gay out of there, then that is their prerogative. It sure as hell doesn't help their basketball program much though.

that saw_em_off_ags person is so cartoonishly aggotty that i'm convinced it must be someone from another school using that name to lampoon the aggies.

Am I missing something or did this woman just ASSUME Baylor would have a problem with her being gay and left?

The first link is oddly silent on any kind of even potential negative reaction by Baylor.

It sounds as though this woman is trying to pawn off a lot of what she feared might happen if she stayed at Baylor as actual prejudice. She feared she might lose her scholarship (Baylor says no) and she feared that boosters would pull support (but no one quoted indicates where that fear came from other than her own mind).

Sorry, but that doesn't cut it.

The second link has nothing to do with her. The fellow that lost his scholarship was pursuing a degree IN DIVINITY. Naturally, a Baptist school is going to have a problem with that.

You can expect tolerance, etc., but asking people just to reform their religious beliefs for you is a bit much.

Baylor has always been a lesbian school. I knew this ever since sixth grade, my Baylor-educated math teacher was the biggest dyke ever. So much so she was recruited by the Dutch years later. Every female Baylor grad I've come across loves the taco.

I agree, 1:10 AM--nothing like examining the FACTS. In fact, the main reason is there for all to see. She cites the pressure of performing at an elite level as the reason, which is understandable. I'm willing to take her own words on this. I can only imagine the pressure and expectations you feel after a championship season.

What does Mexican food have to do with anything in this argument???

I can also tell you I know a lot of "straight" ladies that have graduated from Baylor.

Where did you go to school??? Maybe I know a lez or 2 that graduated from there.

7.51--> why are you hung up on the score of the A&M/ cal state game? Football is over and who cares anyways? It was a Bowl game and if you didn't notice, we only lost the Big XII Championships by 6 points.

9.01--> See ya there! Whoop!

12:09, I didn't say "a taco" or "tacos" I said "the taco." Either you are a virgin, repressed, or both.

Bottom feeder.
