Former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn is doing his best impression 
of Mike “I’m not gay. I’m heterosexual” Piazza. According to TMZ, Quinn’s lawyer has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a homosexual-dating website demanding that photos of Quinn be removed from the advertisement.
The message: Brady Quinn is not gay. Evidently Quinn is willing to go 
so far as to fight gay people to prove his heterosexuality.
While it is normal, and expected, that a professional athlete would not want his image used for advertising without his permission, it is quite another matter to go out of one’s way to deny he is a homosexual. To quote The Bard, “The Brady doth protest to much, methinks.”
Here are a few suggestions for Quinn:
- Stop being so homophobic.
- Keep your shirt on.
- Stop taking homoerotic photographs.
- Try to stop dressing like a member of the Village People.
- Stop sucking at football.
As a side note, Coach Charlie “I looked at myself and saw a disaster” Weis, may want to get in contact with Quinn’s lawyers. Not to appeal the jury verdict “You Are Fat” from his failed-gastric-bypass lawsuit, but to represent Jimmy Clausen. If Clausen keeps taking pictures wearing a banana hammock and posing oil with two other guys, it will not be long until the gay rumors start flying.

I’m puzzled by the description in the banner heading that this is a “scandal”. If I understand the situation correctly, Quinn’s attorneys sent a cease and desist letter to the owners of a gay dating website asking them to remove a picture of him they were using to promote their presumably for-profit services. If they are using his image to make money without his approval, he is within his rights to tell this site or any other commercial business that they can’t . Whether or not this is a gay or straight dating service is not really the point. Is Quinn a homophobe? Who knows. Is Quinn gay? Who knows. Again, not the point. And again I come back to my original question – Does any of this actually constitute a “scandal” in any sense? Seems like tabloid sensationalism to me.

Very insightful on your part. You deduced that this post contained some tabloid sensationalism. What tipped you off? Was it the use of “banana hammock”? You saw through the post. You win.
I’m wondering which one of you was digging around the most recent gay dating site news to find this. Was is in your RSS feed?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, like I said, just wondering…
Baghuan – Yes, you are right. I discovered the story while searching for gay dating. I had looked for stories about Brady Quinn using search terms such as “Quinn victory over USC,” “Victory over Michigan,” and “Notre Dame wins bowl game.” But, for some reason those searches did not yield any results.
