Recently, retired NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway made some very disparaging remarks about gays during an interview with a Miami radio station and was banned from some NBA-sanctioned appearances he was scheduled to make in Las Vegas as part of the All-Star weekend. He also lost at least one of his endorsement deals, and he ordered his name dropped from advertising at a car wash he owns in Miami to ensure the safety of his employees.

“You know, I hate gay people. Let it be known I don’t like gay people and I don’t like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don’t like it. It shouldn’t be in the world or in the United States.”

George Takei of Star Trek fame and a gay activist had something to say about it, but I don’t think it will be quite what you expected.
