Evander Holyfield reprimanded for saying being gay can be ‘fixed’

LONDON (AP) — Former world heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield has been reprimanded by the bosses of a British reality TV show for saying being gay “ain’t normal.”

Holyfield compared being homosexual to being born with a deformed leg, saying “you go to a doctor and get it fixed back right.” He also said it was “a choice” to be gay.

The 50-year-old American made the comments during a conversation with a fellow contestant on Celebrity Big Brother in an episode that was aired Sunday in Britain.

Program officials told Holyfield these “aren’t the views that are held by a large section of society, and expressing these views will be extremely offensive to many people.”

Holyfield was warned to “consider very carefully the effects expressing such views may have.”

Nobody can prove whether it is a choice or not. So why are his comments so vilified?

Sorry, I mistyped. I meant to type 'when did you choose to be gay'

So basically you were undecided at one point. How far did you pursue your gay interest before the scale tipped towards being straight?

Yeah I'd say at age 4 I was still on the fence. My buddies were more fun to play sports with though. But when I was 5...I learned that girls smell better. This was probably the most important aspect influencing my decision at a young age. 20 years later and I never looked back.

Meh, age 4, it's really more Asexual than anything if you want to get all technical. Only cared about playing T-ball, eating ice cream, you know, the usual.

Was it weird for you growing up as a homosexual?

Oh, I was born straight. Considering a homosexual lifestyle wasn't necessary for me, like it was for you.

Yes age 4 was a confusing time admittedly.

When did you decide to be a homosexual though? Did you know right away? Not hating bro, I have 2 dudes I work with that are great people. I love OMR too.

Nobody can prove whether it is a choice or not.

So you have "chosen" to be sexually attracted to women?

Anyone who thinks true homosexuality is chosen is seriously intellectually impaired. Sure, a woman who was, say, traumatized by a man, might choose to lead a homsexual LIFESTYLE, but as a I say, a true homsexual does not decide anything relating to sexuality. Just as a heterosexual does not decide his or her desire for females or males, respectively.

How can it be 2014 and some are still so clued-out? I mean, holy shit.

You clearly have confusion issues with your own sexual orientation - as well as mine. Or maybe you just don't understand what you read.

Chiro, since you feel this is a choice - not something you naturally are - why not choose to be homosexual for a while. Let's say a month?

Let's work though things together bro.

Sure, a woman who was, say, traumatized by a man, might choose to lead a homsexual LIFESTYLE, but as a I say, a true homsexual does not decide anything relating to sexuality.

I'm mostly just trolling bro.  :D

Class is cancelled because it's -40 in the Midwest today so im killing time before i go train. I could care less about this nonsense. But it was fun getting Titus all flabbergasted.

Titus: sorry for rustling your Jimmies bro!
