Coach mentioned that Tim has been depressed lately, based on his Twitter posts:
https://twitter.com/fogartytimI understand why gay men in general are leftists - I think there is this feeling of being "the other", so they join this coalition against the dominant in-group. If White homosexuals think they will have a better life in a diverse/multicultural society, I would suggest they look to Brazil and compare the quality of life there to the USA.

Most Western nations are extremely accepting of homosexuals. I think here in Canada, the figure is something close to 80%. In the USA, I doubt it is under 70%. If Tim thinks diversity is a godsend he is completely wrong. At the same time, I understand why he feels the way he does. Imagine eating a steady diet of MSNBC and thinking everyone around you hates you.
Last Saturday, "The Fifth Estate" on CBC had a documentary basically telling Canada how racist Thunder Bay police officers and blah, blah, blah. They featured a police officer arresting a drunk Aboriginal who drops his little girl off to dance classes that my little girl also attends. The man couldn't be further from a racist. In fact, I'm happy there is a sort of police presence at my little girl's dance lessons because he's there. I hate toxic leftist propaganda like this Fifth Estate documentary.
Yeah, let's tell non-Whites, women, and homosexuals that they are being oppressed when they aren't and expect such a model to be workable.

My point is, while I understand why Tim and other homosexual men are leftists at rates disproportionate to the average, they really shouldn't be.
Also, Tim - if you are reading this - I realize how it must sadden you that Republicans opposed gay marriage for so long, although Democrats did too, but try to look at it this way: due to insane divorce laws, I refuse to get married. Not that I care, but how is that much different? It's not that I legally can't get married, it's that the incentive structure is so warped that I don't see how any sane man with any savings or net worth or decent income would want to take the risk. Just yesterday, a female friend of mine told me about a 30-year-old she just met who is getting a $50,000 buy-out for child support for a child that isn't even the biological child of the man who is paying her the money! The biological father ran for the hills, the new guy picked up the slack, and now the new guy has to pay all the child support!
And please - no stories of homosexuals "being oppressed" in Western societies.

I'm not buying it - this is not Saudi Arabia. I have been assumed to be gay before - no one cares.
Lastly, Tim Fogarty reminds me of FANGS FOGARTY from the Little Archie comics I read when I was a kid, that I will soon be introducing my children to. Picture attached.
