I believe athletes have a right to say that they might feel uncomfortable around gays in locker rooms. CMV

Hey,
to get this out of the way: I hold no grudge against gays and they may have all rights that they want.

There is recently some football player who just came out of the closet and of course there have been a lot retiring athletes who said they are gay.
And everyone on the internet attacks the other athletes if they say that they would "feel uncomfortable around gays".

I think they have the right to do so. We are often seperating men and women in showers and locker rooms. My understanding is, that for one point, we are doing this because the other gender could be attracted and that would make persons feel uncomfortable.
People staring at genitals and stuff.

So if we don't allow men and women to do all this stuff together - why should we allow gay people?
I know that this would cause a lot of problems (bisexual locker rooms?! gay locker rooms?!) and would almost be unsolvable, BUT I believe that athletes have a point in saying they feel uncomfortable around gays just as they would around women.

I think this was asked earlier but I'll have a stab at it.

I think the problem with men and women sharing locker rooms is that the differences are glaring. With homosexuality you might not even know there's a gay guy in your locker room. It only becomes uncomfortable when you become aware.

There's a certain degree of arrogance when it comes to certain straight men about homosexuals that just because he's gay he must be interested, not only in their penis, but in everyone's penis. The truth being that gay and straight men have shared the same spaces of being undressed for centuries. And in these places in particular these people are professionals. There's 100% likelihood that any gay person within that locker room is thinking about the game more than they give a shit about someone's cock.
