LONDON (CBSDC) — An Australian Olympic married couple claims they have been prohibited from sharing a room in the London Olympic Village, even though gay couples are reportedly allowed to do so.
Olympic shooters Russell and Lauryn Mark told news.com.au that they are being discriminated against by officials.
“The stupid part of this, which I have argued to them, is that there are tons of gay couples on the Olympic team who will be rooming together, so we are being discriminated against because we are heterosexual,” Russell Mark told news.com.au.
Lauryn Mark additionally told the website that the Australian Olympic Committee has not helped them with their situation.
“Basically they said if we want to room together we need to check out of the village and go into a hotel at our own expense. It’s not feasible,” she told news.com.au. “I am very frustrated because in sport there are a lot of same-sex couples and it’s OK to be partners with someone of the same sex, but if you are heterosexual you are penalized.”
Nick Green, head of mission for the Australian Olympic Committee, told the London Evening Standard that the Marks are not being discriminated against.
“Accommodation and bedding are done in a particular way to ensure all the athletes are accommodated in the village,” Green told the Evening Standard.
The couple has previously come under fire for Russell Mark’s claims that sleeping pills help him, as well as for Lauren Mark’s provocative photo shoot showing her in a bikini on the cover of a magazine.
The two will still take part in the Olympics despite not being able to live together during the games.

Gay is the new straight.

Don't care to read the whole shebang here, but generally, I am mystified why anyone gives a shit about what two adults desire to do in private. And to this deal, if someone is gay, why would anyone think this is their business? Or that they have the right to suggest how the gay person should live?
A married gay couple wants to share a room/living space? Seems natural.
Why would anyone else think they should have a say?
Then again, we have people here in 2012 who still believe in fairy tales, so ...

Natural? That's not the word I would use.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing.

the living quarters are arranged at Olympic events by gender. All males here...all females there. If homos are smart enough to get put in the same housing unit...then....they're smart enough to use the rules to their advantage.
but..................... ........................ ....................
to read this article and quantify it as "The Olympics are encouraging homo fucking over hetero fucking" seems a stretch. Perhaps the Coach sees this not so much as the trumpted "Degrading of Society" and more as an excuse to salivate over a headline combining queers and athletics?

I think "gender" is a funny word.

Gender Bender is funnier and not "hahaa" funny.

I don't think most of you read the article. It's a married, straight couple that want to room together. He's not bagging them for being gay, because it's a man and a woman. Anyway, someone post a pic of the chic in her bikini, the one the Olympic committee didn't like.

Well, true homos are born with such a sexual orientation, so yes, I'd strongly use the word natural.

No, they didn't read it and you're exactly right, I could care less about whether they are gay or not.

A much smarter person that I once said, "If we push aside morality because it comes from "God", then we are left with immorality which comes from man."
In plain language, people are people and without rules to follow (as well as those to enforce them) or guide us, anarchy rules the day. The societal zeitgeist is fast turning to that of "anything goes". This will undoubtedly result in the spread of STDs among both heterosexuals and homosexuals. Unfortunately it is pretty much the fault of men that this will happen. All too often it is fact that not only can we not keep it in our pants, we refuse to keep it out of someone else's mouth, vagina or even (especially amongst homosexuals) ass.
It would seem we men are indeed pigs and like any male pig, some of our fellow swine will pretty much pork anything.
You would think Circe herself had cursed us all.

His premise was wrong, and so are you.
-
This married couple needs to piss off. Sexes are separated in the Olympic village period. Fuckers sorting about some imaginary gays having butt secks.

Not really, but you think as you desire and I will choose to do likewise.

Hapiness is exactly where atheists coming from shity dysfunctional, sin ridden families, say it isnt; in a normal, stable, healthy christian family.
