Space Apparently, one of his 800 brothers is homosexual and he intimates that maybe seeing his sibling act on these behaviors and Irvin's notions on homosexuality fueled the ex-Cowboys' philandering ways. Sounds like a cop out. But whatever.
I think this is a good thing. Sorta. I think it's good that an outspoken, well-known African American athlete agreed to do the story, discuss homosexual issues from a heterosexual point of view. There are obvious issues in this country dealing with sexual orientation. This is also a country that waits for other people to say when something is OK. Maybe we can all chill the fuck out a little more.
My problem -- and this is my opinion, clearly -- is the cover. Irvin is shirtless and clearly Photoshopped. He is oiled up. His left thumb is pulling on a belt loop of his pants showing a pair of black boxer briefs. He's also, oddly, wearing a pair of smallish shoulder pads that look like Red Grange might have donned them in the early 20th century.
Out knew it was going to make national headlines with this story and cover. Occasionally, the magazine will make headlines based on an exclusive story. But it's rare. To me, Out -- and, whether its fair or unfair, the gay community -- is telling everyone that all the preconceived notions that heterosexuals have about homosexuals are ALL TRUE.
Out had a prime opportunity, I think, to present Irvin and their perception of a good-looking, fit former athlete in a sexual manner that didn't look like an ad in the back of the Dallas Observer.
I'll say this, if Vanity Fair or GQ ran this same exact cover and it was about Irvin's thoughts on homosexuality, they'd be ridiculed by the homosexual community.
With that said, I'll step away from this bear trap and move along.
