Funny thing is where a pro athlete played college ball may not be THAT important it *IS* in the timeline of their achievement. It's something that is statistic or relevant to their current state of being.
Someones sexuality means NOTHING in any context to any other part of a persons "make up" or job or anything.
Personally I think a better analogy is a sports buff not knowing the sexuality of one of their favorite players. Because it doesn't matter.
See? lol....again....not trying to argue, but a conversation is always good.
