Gays and Ballplayers and Locker Rooms, Oh My!

Let's suppose you're a narrow-minded, ignorant homophobe (to be doubly redundant) baseball player and you feel you'd be uncomfortable with a gay teammate in the locker room with you. Allow me to make three small observations:

1. Boy are you in for a shock.  5%-15% of population x 25 guys on a team = 1-4 gays per squad.
2. Substitute "black" for "gay" and go back 60 years. Fun with racism!
3. Which would you prefer, showering in the stall next to a naked gay teammate hitting .360 or
showering in the stall next to a naked straight teammate hitting .190?

See? Turns out you're not such a narrow-minded, ignorant homophobe after-all.
