BREAKING: The great Earvin Johnson announces he's GAY!!

[bagelred]

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/magic-johnson-son-e-j-gay-parents-love-155040567--nba.html

Earvin "E.J." Johnson III is making news this Tuesday, thanks to a TMZ interview that features him walking on the Sunset Strip wearing a fur coat, carrying a handbag and holding the hand of an unidentified man the gossip site claims is his boyfriend.

During the brief interview, the TMZ photographer asked the 20-year-old son of Los Angeles Lakers legend and Dodgers owner Magic Johnson about the new Dodgers season and the Lakers' playoff chances (which took a hit Monday), then let him go on his way and reported that the young man accompanying Johnson is his boyfriend. That hasn't been confirmed.

"Cookie and I love E.J. and support him in every way," Magic Johnson told TMZ in a statement. "We're very proud of him."


Interesting. I wonder if this has been known about his son for awhile, or if he's truly coming out now. Wasn't Magic rumored to be bisexual?


What? :confusedshrug: What's everyone angry about? :wtf:

[PrettyCool]

Kid better keep whatever he goes into, or whatever goes into him wrapped up or he's gonna have a lot more in common with his dad.

[KrizMiz]

the apple dont fall to far from the tree

[STATUTORY]

magic johnson has kids? :biggums:

[ErhnamDjinn]

lmao when I saw the thread I thought this guy came out

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120412150461/nba/images/e/e8/1164980633_2260.jpg

then saw Baglred started thread :oldlol:

[Kingwillball]

His Dad is Bi so not surprised..

[Shade8780]

Didn't get me this time! I saw your name before I clicked on the thread so I knew it'd be this again. Anyway, who calls him Earvin :lol It's Magic!!

[KyrieTheFuture]

In about 20 minutes this thread will have enough material to get a hate crime trial going

[Big#50]

Cool. Good for him.

[kNicKz]

Why is it breaking news that someone is gay? :facepalm Who gives a ****

[D.J.]

If he's gay, then he's gay. You don't choose your sexual orientation. But being that homosexuality is genetic in all likelihood, this certainly raises some question marks in regards to Magic.

questions have been around for decades.

For avid fans of the Lakers and the game, yes. But for casual fans or those who are otherwise unaware of the specifics of Magic's HIV status, it will raise eyebrows.

[coin24]

Why is it breaking news that someone is gay? :facepalm Who gives a ****

Because they have a new gay role model now:oldlol:

It's like all the people that think gays should be "outed".. Why do you care who someone else sleeps with?:confusedshrug: Basically its just the self hating, too scared to be honest with themselves bunch of losers...

[PJR]

It was never a secret. Kid is beyond flaming. He's one of those loud flamboyant types too.

[coin24]

Really can't stand those over the top, in your face, here and queer flamboyant types.. If you're gay, then good for you, you don't need to tell everyone on the planet in such an annoying fashion..

[D.J.]

Slightly off-topic, but that dude he's with looks just like Robert Pattinson. :oldlol:

[JMT]

the apple dont fall to far from the tree


Yes, because lots of gay men have gay sons. :facepalm



Where's that "Stupidest things you've seen on ISH" thread?

[9erempiree]

Magic was the ultimate competitor and trash talker.

Looking back at his old game footage and knowing eventually his son is gay, really makes me feel for Magic.

Imagine if there was a Dream Team reunion. Imagine the filth and venom that would be coming out of Jordan's mouth.

I think Barkley would be worse. Jordan at least pretended not to be bothered by Clay Aiken's homosexuality. Barkley has no filter and just says whatever comes to mind.

Yep...

If both of your parents were gay, you are too... It's a fact.





Seriously, homosexuality is genetic? :D How? I didn't know that homosexuals could have kids...

I hope this is sarcasm.

[Nash]

Man, I just saw that video of his son speaking. How the hell did it take people this long to figure that out?

[9512]

What is this story with Jordan pretending to not be bothered by Clay Aiken's sexuality? :oldlol: :oldlol:

[9512]

:oldlol: :oldlol:

[9512]

Aiken was at a Bobcats game not long after he came out. They did an interview and while Jordan was seen with him, the look on his face was like "Get this f@ggot away from me". Bobcat fans know what I'm referring to.

:cheers: thanks...

:oldlol: probably thinking Kwame is not flaming as you Clay...

[SIRI1]

Man, I just saw that video of his son speaking. How the hell did it take people this long to figure that out?
First thing I thought.

[Scholar]

I don't get why this is "news" worthy. Am I supposed to give a **** that some kid is gay? It doesn't affect me whatsoever.

This is our new society. Apparently, everyone has to know EVERYTHING about everyone. Not knowing he was gay about a minute ago before I clicked this thread and now knowing he's gay about a minute later after I clicked this thread hasn't changed my life. I haven't experienced a revelation. Nothing about this thread or knowing Magic's son is a homosexual has altered anything for me.

It's sad if it did change things for others.

[Shepseskaf]

Its hilarious that there are still people that believe Magic got HIV from a woman.
It happens. Given his lifestyle in those days, I doubt he actually knows.

[niko]

If he's gay, then he's gay. You don't choose your sexual orientation. But being that homosexuality is genetic in all likelihood, this certainly raises some question marks in regards to Magic.
How the **** can homosexuality be genetic? Do you understand how babies get made? :facepalm

[Shepseskaf]

How the **** can homosexuality be genetic? Do you understand how babies get made? :facepalm
Gay men can (and do) procreate with women just like straight men can. I think environment plays a major role in one's preference, but genetics has a part as well.

You do realize gay people have been in relationships with the opposite sex and/or have kids? Examples: Robert Reid, Meredith Baxter, Darren Hayes, Elton John

It is pretty cool that Magic and his wife are behind their son on this. Mad props to Magic Johnson and to his family. :applause:

then saw Baglred started thread :oldlol:

this, we got bagelred'd

[lilgodfather1]

People can't seriously think this dude was in the closet can they? I mean look at him...

Anyways who cares. Why should this be a news story. Thousands of gay people come out every day. We don't hear about them though.

[InspiredLebowski]

Just delete this. It's insidepoops, you know what's going to happen.

[sportsfan76]

I was hoping it was him which would have explained his play in the 2001 ECF

[TheBigVeto]

This.

[PrettyCool]

Yeah. talk to any straight person who was in their 20's during the 70's. People were much more uninhibited then now even. HIV/AIDS was a huge culture shock. The majority of people with HIV got it through straight sex simply because there are so many more straight people. The percentage of gays with the disease is greater because it's much easier to transfer through **** (a beautiful thing with a girl if she's willing and doesn't have to take a shit). Just connect the dots. Of course you could also be a retard and call it a gay disease like a lot of people in this thread.

Magic just was around in the worst time to be a rich and famous dude who loved banging a lot of random chicks

I didn't know Kenan Thompson was gay. :oldlol:

[CelticBaller]

shocker

[macpierce]

holy shit he is fat

[Hotlantadude81]

I remember hearing rumors about Magic being gay when I was a kid.

[bagelred]

The thing is though...let's be honest. It's not embarassing having a gay son. What is embarassing is to have an UNBELIEVABLY FLAMBOUYANT, over the top gay son.....like this kid. Know what I mean? Even your average gay guy is like, "Dude, tone it down".

Maybe for you....

[tomtucker]

:biggums: ................is that really his son ?

[tomtucker]

holy shit he is fat

can he still make it in the NBA ?

[pauk]

can he still make it in the NBA ?

6'9" / 450 lbs, Point-Guard + Gay, best mismatch ever :banana:

I agree. Unfortunately, people think if you do that then its wrong. I don't think its much different then when a parent is embarassed by his kid dressing up too much like a thug or one with a million piercings or tattoos.

[JMT]

How the **** can homosexuality be genetic? Do you understand how babies get made? :facepalm

My guess is he does, but you don't understand genetics.

Homosexuality is actually classified as a mental illness in some medical circles.

And it was determined it wasn't back in what, the 50s? If homosexuals are mentally ill, you can make a case for 75% of ISH.

If Chris Bosh and Shaq somehow had a baby hahaa.

Nah, more like Fat Albert and C-Lo Green.

[taucesays]

I bet Magic's happy knowing he sacrificed and worked so hard throughout his life so his son could walk around Hollywood in 30k worth of women's accessories.

id be a little mad, dont mind gay people. Just people who act like big feminine loud ass drag queens piss me off to no end haha.

Also how is this kid a fat blob, magic needed to obviously be there more during this cee-lo green/fat albert in drag looking, son's youth.

[Draz]

I think magic accepts his sons gayness though

[IncarceratedBob]

I Wonder How Long It Took For Magic To Forgive His Son

[JtotheIzzo]

Where? Pakistan?

[OldSchoolBBall]

Magic was almost certainly gay or bisexual. There was this one ASG in the early 2000's where Isiah Thomas was giving some speech with Magic standing there, and the things he was saying about Magic, and the way he was looking at him, you just KNOW that they got it on at some point.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

Where? Pakistan?

In the USA until recently. Only reason it was changed, is due to political peer pressure from misguided activists.

Think about this : your arms. You have 2 arms right? If someone is born with 3, should we call them "tri-armed" and simply accept that they have 3 arms? We amputate one arm, the extra one that malfunctioned and grew when it shouldn't have, right?

Same with mental disorders. We take medicines for all sorts of disorders, right? Do we tell people that "that autistic child doesn't need medicine, he doesn't have a disorder" ???

So why is it, when a human is born with a disorder of the sexual reproductive system, we suddenly get all sensitive and go ahh! don't be a bigot!

Why is this different. You and I both know, that the human species was meant for a male to reproduce with a female. This is the same way for both religion and science. Both Creation and Evolution, whichever you believe. Male and Female come together in union, as it was created/evolved.

So why is a -DISORDER- of the sex drive suddenly OK and not a disorder? Less brainwashing and more thinking, please.

You should take your views to places where they matter. Posting this nonsense in a basketball forum says a lot about you, not me or anyone else reading. This is pure jokes. :oldlol:

Either you're trolling and pretty damn funny or you're serious and mentally challenged. Take your pick.

BTW, you totally compared a physical deformity to a mental illness, even if what you're saying was remotely true. So even if you're right, you're a retard. You can never win.

:biggums:

I'm telling you man - it an ASG in the 2000's, and Isiah and Magic were featured prominently, though I forget why (I think they may have each been on one of the teams where it's one NBA player and one WNBA player to make shots from halfcourt). Anyhow, Isiah gives this speech and he has totally dude love for Magic as he's giving it. Lovey dovey eyes and all. :oldlol: It was unmistakable.
