This is in reference to the blog below about Rene Portland. Yes, it is a shame and also a wonder how she was able to coach for so long without undergoing any type of investigation into matters of homosexual discrimination. I would like to raise the issue; however, as to why she may have been so prejudice against homosexuals.
My theory is that perhaps Rene Portland was a lesbian herself. If not in her coaching days, then perhaps as an athlete in college or even in high school. Research has suggested that closeted individuals who are debating whether to come out of the closet or not often experience anxiety and fear of social isolation, those who do come out and are rejected by family and friends can suffer from severe homophobia. They begin to hate who they are; therefore, hating those like them. Denial begins to set in, and they no longer wish to associate with homosexual individuals. Rene may have been a victim of such outcome.
I am curious to why the question of, "is Rene Portland a lesbian?," been asked. And if it has, why hasn't it made a big a splash as the whole scandal.
What do you think? Any takers on this issue?
