Outsports Discussion Board Makes News about Billy Bean

The height of irony that Billy Bean's quote ending the piece is [quote]``There's no social system that supports you if something bad happens.''

I'd like to be the first to say that I fully support Billy Bean personally for coming out. It's his presumptious attitude toward others coming out that I can't support.

Maybe Billy Bean ought to say, "I'll gladly volunteer my services as part of the 'support system' for any player who wants to come out."

To avoid duplicate threads, please continue posting to the original \"Arli$$\" ... gay ballplayer topic. Thanks
