Oh, man, this is almost as fun as the Ticked-Off Trannies film controversy!
Article ONE:
Bisexual players sue gay softball league, said team wasn't gay enough to play:
Three bisexual men from the San Francisco area have filed a lawsuit claiming they were discriminated against during the Gay Softball World Series in the Seattle area two years ago.
The Seattle Times reports that the men filed the case Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle against the softball tournament's organizer, the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance.
It alleges that after another team complained, the alliance ruled the three men were "nongay," and took away the team's second-place finish.
The lawsuit accuses the alliance of violating Washington state laws barring discrimination.

Article TWO:
Center City race has candidate 'outed' as straight
It's happened so often that it's now a cultural cliche: the gay politician pretending to be straight. In most parts of the nation, homosexuality or bisexuality is a clear electoral liability.
Not in Center City's 182d state House district. There, it's a badge of honor.
Veteran Rep. Babette Josephs (D., Phila.) last Thursday accused her primary opponent, Gregg Kravitz, of pretending to be bisexual in order to pander to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender voters, a powerful bloc in the district.
"I outed him as a straight person," Josephs said during a fund-raiser at the Black Sheep Pub & Restaurant, as some in the audience gasped or laughed, "and now he goes around telling people, quote, 'I swing both ways.' That's quite a respectful way to talk about sexuality. This guy's a gem."
Kravitz, 29, said that he is sexually attracted to both men and women and called Josephs' comments offensive.
"That kind of taunting is going to make it more difficult for closeted members of the LGBT community to be comfortable with themselves," Kravitz said. "It's damaging."

My goodness, isn't it fun to watch them scramble to prove who is the gayest?
"I'm gayer that you are!"
"No way, I'm gayer than Mr Garrison!"
"Oh yeah, I throw like a girl!"
"Well, I scream when I see spiders!"
"Everyone screams when they see spiders. You don't always match your socks, and sometimes you have sex with WOMEN!"
"But I also like men!"
"Not GAY ENOUGH!"
Ah, well they've been a boon for entertainment, anyway.

LOL!! This is TOO funny. Now I guess we'll have to have a doctor's note to show how gay we are so we're not 'discriminated' against.
