Re: 20 sportistete deklaruar hapur se jan homeseksual - Olimpiada Londra 2012

Cdo lloj semundje qe vjen prej keq-edukimit, duhet te deklarohet. se nuk eshte turp. Turp eshte te mbahet e fshehet semundja.
Deklarimi eshte i nevojshem edhe per te tjeret qe duhet t u qendrojne larg te semureve qe kane tendenca ti  bejne te tjeret si veten.

Age: 24
Twitter: @Matthew_Mitcham
Bio: Mitcham won gold at the 
2008 Olympics. When fellow Australian Olympians Russell and Lauryn Mark of the 
shooting team complained that they couldn't stay together in the Olympic 
village, saying it was anti-heterosexual descrimination and that gay couples 
could stay together, Mitcham spoke out against them on Twitter. "Since there 
were only 11 out gays across all nations [in 2008], I’d hardly consider that a 
ton. Known couples are split anyway." He followed it up with, "The last thing I 
need is a sexually frustrated breeder with a shotgun being cross with me. No 
comment, thank you very much!!" So he's pretty funny. Also he loves memes.
