I was reading his bodybuilding.com interview and when asked about message boards , specifically getbig, instead of talking about steroids, bashing pros etc... he went on a diatribe about gay bashing that goes on here. Like it touched a nerve with him. Seems he was very sensitive about it.
Part Four: The Cyber Age
Bodybuilding Fans And The Message Boards
[ Q ] Onto a different subject Nasser. Another breed of people within the bodybuilding world appears to be those who spend excessive time posting on the message boards. Posting on the boards can be a good thing, but it can also cause some pretty heated battles, intense debates and bitter rivalries. I understand you yourself have spent some time viewing the message boards at Getbig.com and have even made a couple of posts to this forum. They even have a Team Nasser operating on this board. What are your thoughts on the Getbig.com message board and message boards in general?
The funny thing is that plenty of obviously confused Getbig.com people post nonsense and act pretty immature on the board. They again seem to be either in their puberty/teenage years or they are just plain dumb and do not have any clue what is going on in bodybuilding despite their "expertise". They do not have too much ammunition in general when it comes to the "Nasser" subject - the main subjects for them are "synthol" and some dumb "gay bashing": very infantile subjects.
By the way, the gay community comprises a third of adults' worldwide. My point here is not to discuss homosexuality (there is no reason for doing so) but being gay is not that uncommon, especially since we do not live in Nazi Germany or Iran. These gay bashers are the sick ones, not the gay people. So, even if some of my fans are gay, so what? Even if I was a gay person, which I am not: so what? Only low class people and uneducated/under-educated people make fun of gay people because they are mostly insecure about themselves and their own sexuality.
I personally find it very strange and weird if someone has a certain sexual preference but is acting differently because of "societal pressure" and is afraid to be him or herself. You do not have to overly and openly propagate your sexual agenda but you do not have to gay bash either. I say herewith in this subject matter addressed to the idiots on the posting boards, "Grow up or move to Iran." And by the way, I do have some very good gay friends myself.
