    This.

    She's probably bi, but was dating women for so long that she called herself a lesbian. It happens. Its no big deal really.

    Here's the answer... Wasn't that hard...

    Also everyone is a little homo, how else can we know who an attractive person of our same gender is? Men can identify other attractive men & women can identify other attractive women. When you look at how much of our bodies & actions are determined by hormones & brain wiring, it really isn't that far fetched to think that some peoples "sexuality meter" inverts or sits in the middle.

    Sure you know her. I thought no one in here was allowed to know anyone remotely famous or connected.


    All kidding aside, I have always believed being gay is not a choice. I think some people can be confused, some people can lie to themselves about what they are and some people can just be a sexual addict. Hopefully she is happy with whatever she chooses

    There are heterosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, pansexuals, asexuals - and others with whom I am unfamiliar. There are people who know exactly what they are when they're eighteen and some who don't know what they are until they're in their forties or fifties. There are people who will deny who they are and people who will not.

    As for choice, why yes, we choose to be gay or anything not considered 'normal' because the pleasure of being bullied, harassed, denied rights, assaulted and killed it just so very, very enticing. In fact my skin is flush and my heart aflutter over such prospects.

    No, Swoopes at the time she came out said she was a lesbian, not bisexual.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    She probably felt that way because she felt predominantly attracted to women. Later, i.e. now, she's apparently realized she's attracted enough to men to have romantic relationships with them. When you factor in social pressures (generally, but not always, toward traditional views), it can be more complex to determine what you want/need.

    the thing is she was naked in the lockerroomz.... surrounded by taught, athletic nude wet boobies and naked female vaginas just raw and sweaty from hard work on the court...of course you're going to want that stuff. So she figured, "hey, that's not bad at all".

    then she was removed from that many boobs, and figured she was missing cawk in her life.

    Houston Comets player and one of women's basketball's biggest stars became the second openly gay player in the WNBA when she came out this week.

    In an interview with ESPN magazine that hit stands today, Swoopes explains her motivation for coming out now. "It's not something that I want to throw in people's faces," Swoopes said, but "I'm just at a point in my life where I'm tired of having to pretend to be somebody I'm not. I'm tired of having to hide my feelings about the person I care about. About the person I love."

    Although she doesn't name her partner in the ESPN interview, she tells The Advocate (in an interview due out shortly), that the woman is former Comets assistant coach Alisa Scott (aka "Scotty"), who resigned from the Comets organization in January after eight seasons, reportedly due to the conflict of interest presented by her relationship with Swoopes. Their seven-year relationship has been an open secret in the WBNA, but never discussed publicly or in the press.

    34-year old Swoopes has an 8-year-old son (from a previous marriage that ended in 1998) whom she and Scott are raising together. Asked by the Advocate whether she considers herself lesbian or bisexual, Swoopes says, "I just consider myself a person. I don't consider myself bisexual. The relationship I'm in right now, I hope, is the relationship I'll be in for the rest of my life."

    But she is also insistent that her marriage didn't end because she was gay. "In college I was never with a woman," she said in a new interview with People magazine. "I had a boyfriend, and the thought of it never crossed my mind. I always had gay friends and we were cool. We hung out. But I didn't think about women that way. My marriage was beautiful, but we were both young, and we both grew up and went our separate ways. I tried to make it work, but I wasn't happy anymore."

    Then, she met Scott. "I never really meant for [our relationship] to happen," Swoopes told the New York Times. "It did, and after a while it got to a point, I am not going to try to fight this anymore.... I was basically living a lie. For the last seven, eight years, I was basically waiting to exhale."


    All the gender-bender debate aside, it's more likely this is a marriage for appearances/career decision for a star mounting a huge comeback and jockeying for a future media career. That would be sad.

    Maybe she has a cawk and has been straight this whole time and is just now discovering a penchant for switch hitting?

    Maybe she was on steroids and other PEDs that gave her testosterone levels so high she wanted to do da ladies.
