Homophobia? In the locker room?! Say it ain't so!!
| Quote: | A new study on homophobia in college sports calls it the elephant in the locker room.
University of New Hampshire associate professor of kinesiology Heather Barber and Vikki Krane of Bowling Green State University have been examining homophobia in athletics for more than five years.
What they found was despite the benefits of team sports LGBT athletes and coaches are usually hidden in a deep, dark closet.
"Sexual orientation in sport, while it has been alluded to forever, really hasn't been spoken about," says Barber. "We call it the elephant in the locker room." |

It is far, far worse in women's locker rooms. There, hypertrichophobic homophobia * rages on still.
* fear of hairy lesbians |

Am I crazy, or did we lose a bunch of posts on this thread? I know I posted here at least twice.

If I were going to study something in the locker room, it would the terrible scourge of buttslapping and towel flicking.
Which reminds me, I saw the most unintentionally funny movie last night. I can't do it more justice than this guy did on IMDB.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445236/
| Quote: | This is the most homo erotic movie to come out of Canada since Strange Brew. Long extended shower scenes with close ups on abs, naked finger painting of fellow cadets, and nary a woman to be seen. Oh, and Greco roman wrestling. Seriously this one shower scene made no sense. One of the cadets hears a disturbance and goes to check it out, takes a slow walk to the shower in just his tightly issue whiteys, like a very very slow walk for some reason, like John Wayne styles. Anyway, he goes to check it out, nothing of course. So, he decides well, I'm a little ripe, shower time for me. Okay longest, gayest shower scene ever. He hears the noise again, gets out of the shower, does same "Duke" Saunter back to his room, and finds nothing. So, since his shower was cut short, he returns to it, and begins to wash his abs once again, by this time I was quite flustered but enough about that, back to the movie. So, after he finishes showering he gets out and the scary lightning gets him. Oh, the horror (no exclamation point.)
Look, if you're a closet homosexual, which of coarse is okay by all means, and you want to stay in that nice safe closet and never let on but you need some cinematic accompaniment to your release then Brotherhood IV is the movie for you. If you want to watch a good old fashion scary movie, then my friend stay away and save yourself the confusing life shattering erections, I mean plot horrible plot.

Explanation:
1) You inadvertently turned on the 'make post invisible' feature.
2) Your imaginary friend posted for you.
2) The moderator hates you and is deleting every other post of yours.
3) You're crazy. I'm crazy. We're all crazy. |

Ah HA! Not crazy, just kinda dumb. I had conflated this thread with a similar one.

It doesn't seem to be available on DVD or video, but it's running on Movie Central.
Oddly enough, the most homoerotic scene in my opinion is the one scene of heterosexuality. He's let into this underground bedroom where all these other young guys are lounging in their underwear. They strip him to his underwear and lay him on the bed to present him to the female succubus. |
