Gilbert Arenas on Dwight Howard Gay Rumors, How He Found Gay Players in NBA (Part 18)

Watch Full Interview: • Gilbert Arenas on Taki...

Part 1: • Gilbert Arenas on Payi...
--------
Gilbert Arenas commented on the rumors surrounding Dwight Howard's sexuality. When asked by Vlad about Howard's alleged homosexuality, Arenas highlighted the importance of respecting someone’s personal life. He stated that it is not his place to push someone into revealing their sexual orientation. It is a personal decision that requires the individual's readiness, which complicates the situation for public figures as their life is under constant scrutiny. Arenas corroborated that there have been suspected gay NBA players but noted that the typical stereotype is not entirely accurate. The quiet, discreet manner in which some players behave is more indicative of concealing their sexuality than flamboyancy in a locker room setting. This is often a source of speculation among teammates, often turning into a joke. However, Arenas stressed the importance of not forcing someone to “come out,” respecting their timing and process.

The man has a homeboy 7 ft tall wearing wigs and dresses....... And you think maturity is anywhere a part of that or the people discussing it are required to behave in some dignified manner ...... While discussing a man who's messing with men in dresses and lipstick..... The audacity to not let these two men be themselves and have to change their identity to fit your standards while uplifting people who are saying we should be okay with them being who they are is hypocritical to the max..... If people are "allowed to be themselves no matter how funny it looks" it has to work both ways and not just the way that makes you feel okay 😂😂😂

I don’t think it’s proof you’re gay if you get angry about someone calling you gay. That is something extremely offensive

[@robertsmith2088]

Well I was speaking to a gay person one time, and well he said, yeah you know there is all this support and stuff for Gay people. But what's annoying for him was the fact that it had to be such a thing, like why does the conversation have to come up and be known about someone being gay? Heterosexual people can live their normal lives, never having to be worried about how they are identified in terms of their sexuality, so then why does it have to be such a big thing for us, why if we are gay do people really have to know that we are gay? Sexual identity shouldn't be anyone's business, and just joking around trying to find out who is or not gay makes it uncomfortable for those who have to live with this every day.

Most obvious come out I seen since this dude I went to school with. I had a bet with his dad for four whole years before the dude finally decided to come outta the closet; good news though, I got 540 bucks, so it was all good. Also a lot easier to not have to pretend like him and the dude I actually found for him at the gym weren't dating. They were not clever with it either! Craziest one had to be where they were going to a Steelers game and I had to find a way to play along with this nonsense since I had to drive them to the airport. FOR THEIR FLIGHT TO BALI.
