Amazing what people can do to get press time these days.... She has never provided any proof of relationship.... :doh:

And here you are, validating the fact that it's newsworthy by spreading it. :-)

Well, no, she wasn't.

This thread made me think of this . Not so much that they're women, but how big a deal they make of things.

Who cares as long as he doesn't?

I'm pretty sick of all these stories in general. What was the point of this person putting this information out there? Fame/Infamy? To get back at him? This type of stuff is nobody's business. Tired of the "this famous person just came out" or "this person is now dating this person" crap.

What do you mean "wth"?

What is your issue? Why would it matter, even if it were true?

People have relationships with other people. Amazing.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I agree, I think the LGBT community should get all the rights heterosexuals have (be careful what you wish for) and be done with it.  I hope that once they have the rights they are seeking it will end the pre-occupation everyone has today with feeling the need to share their sexual preferences or pre-dispositions.

I don't think it will stop there.

Some people think that more than 20% of the population falls into the LGBT "category". Unfortunately, these statistics are based upon what some people wish, and not the facts. If someone does not physically fall into this category, then they should not be encouraged to behave as such.

That being said, I have no issue with Michael and his girlfriend's relationship.

But why does it matter how many there are?  It just seems to me that, as long as kids and or animals aren't getting hurt, what two or more consenting adults want to do is okay with me as long as I don't have to have their actions thrown in my face.  I don't care what percentage of football players are gay or straight or transsexual.  I watch them play football not what they do in the privacy of their own homes.

This is true, but I certainly would not condone this behavior to people who are not naturally of this persuasion. This is the part where making up large numbers can hurt society.

I don't want this to get into a big political discussion but it's not a behavior that is for us to condone or condemn.  Religious zealots aside, most have come to accept that homosexuality is not a "chosen" lifestyle.

I think you'll find that people follow their own sexual persuasions whether they are condoned or not.

I don't think statistics are made up of those other than LGBT people.

You seem to be saying that some people are so easily influenced in this area that they will do things that are against their nature.

No amount of acceptance of a particular persuasion would encourage me to try it if it weren't what I was biologically predisposed towards.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I never implied that. I only have an issue if the numbers are expanded by people who wish to expand the scope beyond the natural limits.

Sure, but some people are more readily influenced than others.

I don't know about that.

I think you'll find that it is very obvious whether a male is gay or straight from a very young age.

People may experiment, but I don't think anyone is "turned" gay.

In any case - this is probably heading in an off topic direction.

The OP seemed to be horrified that Phelps may have had a relationship that he considers odd.

For the record, Ian Thorpe recently came out on TV but everyone knew for years that he was gay. No-one cares, but they are glad for him that he doesn't feel the need to deny it as he used to.

People have relationships with other people. Amazing.

I am saying wth, there has not been any proof that they were dating but she took it upon herself to draw attention to a matter he didn't even get a chance to respond to in the first place. Obviously she is not doing this to preserve the relationship and just to get attention, just like the title says.

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned their relationship is their business. Maybe his girlfriend wanted to make a public statement that there are more people in her situation, and to be more understanding.

I don't think the title of the thread was "Phelps' ex-girlfriend tries to ambush and embarrass him with unsubstantiated claims."
