 | I was reading about the field hockey thing. Do you think Barta is homophobic? | |
|
| Many homophobes have irrational fears of being identified as gay. This is a real concern within institutionalized settings where one's masculinity is of utmost importance. | |

|
| Like athletics? | |
|
| Yes. Athletics is a breeding ground for homophobia. But, not all athletics trade in hyper masculinity. Swimming doesn't, for example. Football, on the other hand, does. And as I recall Barta was a football player at South Dakota State. | |

|
|
| South Dakota? They're not exactly on the vanguard of gay rights those folks. | |
|
| What was your question again? | |
