The rumor mill is a buzz with the latest news: Tim Tebow, Jesus loving evangelistic Denver Bronco quarterback, is a big ol’ gaybo. The proof? Well, he talks like one, of course.
With limpy hands, a high-pitched lisp and sexual innuendos up his wazoo, Tim Tebow can’t be straight, because, well, straight men are macho and shit. Despite all the manly grinding against large linemen and ass slapping he did on the field to beat the Steelers in a play off game, this single interview question outed Tim Tebow for what he really is: a pansy.
My opinion of Tim Tebow is similar to his opinion of gays – I don’t like him enough to support him but I don’t hate him enough to speak out against him – but when people started attacking him based on preconceived notions of masculinity, I had to speak up.
Today I’m loudly and proudly standing up for Tim Tebow, and every other man gay, straight or in-between that has been attacked for falling short of society’s ridiculous standards of masculinity.
Today I am standing up as a Homo for Tebows, a supporter of Tim and all the other “Tebows” out there that have been assaulted based solely on stereotypes of gender.
