[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you feel like the team is not open to gay players I would steer him to a different team, a different group of kids. The reasons don't matter, if a group of people don't align with your values, it makes sense to move on. There are plenty of sports that are very gay-friendly. Or, choose to be the trailblazer but understand thats a path that can be tough. [/quote]

This is akin to ... if you boss is sexually harassing you get another job, or moving colleges because you were assaulted. The child should not have to change his whole life becuase of bigotry.[/quote]

I said different team first. Sorry I just don’t think kids sports are so pivotal that you can’t change teams easily because you’ve got a group of jerk homophobes on your team.  Changing your team to a nicer group of kids is not changing your entire life.  Sure, a job or a college is a bigger deal.  Changing teams not as big a deal. Or stand your ground. But what 12 year old boy really wants that responsibility to challenge the status quo. Do you actually have a teenager that has a hard time fitting in? [/quote]

No it’s not easy to change teams.[/quote]
