VEB nearly hired a guy who thinks homosexuality belongs in the DSM.

Kyrie Irving thinks the earth is flat. Should the Celtics not employ him?

/Doesn't think homosexuality is a psychiatric diagnosis
//Doesn't read VEB for views on homosexuality

Probably, but I hardly see where one’s cockamamie views about homosexuality hinder one’s ability to write about the Cardinals

Depends on whether one of the players suddenly came out.

I wouldn't care if this was just some dolt who's against Pride Night or whatever. This is a dangerous line of thinking that led to gays being chemically castrated, lobotomized, etc. We can disagree on issues but if you can't draw a line on some things and people that are unacceptable under any circumstance, we can't have an honest discussion.

Is the psychiatric community, of which I am a part, advocating for homosexuality be added to the DSM?

I can draw a line in a great many places. The right to dumb thinking, as long as their actions aren't hurting anyone, isn't one of them.

If this guy was advocating, pushing legislation, trying to get homosexuals chemically castrated, then I can understand SB Nation not wanting to hire the guy.

If the guy is a good blogger (I've never read him), but wasn't hired because of his antiquated beliefs on homosexuality, then I think that is ridiculous. But I also believe SB Nation has that right.

I guess my point is that I don't go to VEB to read political/religious/psychiatric view points. Not sure why their writer's thoughts on those subjects would matter.
