Hosts this is an LGBT post, not sports.
Back from 2012: Ron Brown, Anti-Gay Football Coach: I'd Tolerate An Openly Gay Player, But Won't Support Lifestyle http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/07/ron-brown-anti-gay-football-coach-tolerate-lifestyle_n_1496380.html
Now today some fans want Brown for the new head coach: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/fans-split-over-pelini-firing-scott-frost-s-name-popular/article_dee43e5c-78ca-11e4-95a9-535ea50d56bf.html
Snip to the bottom: Nick Beaty of Omaha suggested promoting one of Nebraska's longest-tenured and most-respected assistants.
"We're starting a Ron Brown support group," he said. "I think he would be a hell of a good guy for a head coach. He has been around the program for a long time and is a pretty respectable guy."

(62,406 posts)I get so tired of hearing LGBT wants protection or special treatment. No, they just want to be treated the same as any other citizen who are not fired from a job because of who their sex partners are etc.
Just the same as minorities or women or any other group that has been systemically discriminated against.
BTW, Nebraska fans, it will be easier to count games won than it will be to count souls saved. To count a soul saved we will have to wait until the soul reports back from heaven and as far as I know that number is still at 0.
BTW2 - good on Nebraska for firing Pellini - that in itself raises the big 10s stature.

(2,741 posts)reference is that Jesus said homosexuality is a sin? Brown misses one small point: If God created everything, then it follows that he created the LGBT community. Thus, Brown is saying that he believes about God only what he wishes to believe. He is a dangerous man to be leading young people.

(2,741 posts)Ann Naffziger :
"In fact, there are only a handful of references to homosexuality in the entire Bible, but they are found in the Old Testament and Pauls writings. (To put it in perspective, while there are only seven references to homosexuality, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of references to economic justice and the laws governing the accumulation and distribution of wealth.)
Jesus silence on the subject suggests that an issue which can be controversial and/or fraught with emotion these days was simply not a central issue in his lifetime 2,000 years ago in the land of Palestine. The fact that he didnt address this issue leaves us all to ponder what he might say were he here today."
Of course, the bible-thumpers, who rarely read and understand the book, will certainly support Brown.
