A Year Later, Tim Hardaway No Longer 'Hates Gay People'

Your sarcasm helps absolutely nobody.

Not everybody comes from the same background, and as a result not everybody is born with the same tolerances or hatreds. It doesn't come naturally to everybody. At least he made an effort, and is able to put out a public show of apology for what he said.

But I guess in comparison to your shining example, he pales.

A man does something wrong. He learns from his mistake. He apologizes. He encourages others who were wrong in the way that he used to be to follow him and to change. Obnoxious blogger mocks all of the above. Way to go.

Some people have misconceptions about the world. Some people are bigotted. Shouldn't they be encouraged to change? What reason do you have to mock this change?

You are such a gigantic tool. I sometimes have to pause and actually "read" one of your qusai blogs just to see if you have continued your amazing doucheocity. Congratulations. You have kept fine form.

By the by...I don't know if you ever bother to read anyone else on this site but if you did you would notice that stringing together a bunch of links with some broken grammar and ill-formed opinions does not really make it much of a blog.

Yeah this is pretty classless, Edwards. The man admitted he had a problem and is now using his experience to help people with the same issues. You wouldn't criticize a recovered drug addict because "Everyone already knew that drugs are bad".

I can't believe people are buying his line of crap...

Mea Culpa...is all bullshit. He's upto something that means cash in his pocket and knows he needs to smooth things over before he has a chance to get at the money.

I'm telling ya..the next thing we will hear about is a deal in the works for him to be a sportscaster or something like that...

The man is lying through his teeth....I doubt it very much that his feelings have changed, unless maybe he got over his selfhatred and came out of the damn closet!

All you have to do is read comments on AOL in order to know that Tim Hardaway is *not* telling lots of people something they already knew.

The level of bigotry, ignorance and hatred in AOL blog comments is a real eye-opener as to how sick some of the minds and hearts in this country truly are.

Tim, u have lived and leanred !!! But it still doesn't make ur comments forgiveable !!! U are a poor role model for young children .(U TRIED TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COMMIT A HATE CRIME;BULLY) U are a public figure who is paid in one year what most don't make in a lifettime!!! And u display such hatred ???? Wow how sad that someone can make millions to play a sport and have a real american dream come true and be allowed to say such horrbile stuff about a group of people that he doesn't even really know .
Don Imus said something horrbile about a basketball team and is being sued !!! Does that mean that every gay person is entitled to sue u and your team for still employing u ??? (Some woman just won millions from the knicks becuase of a sexual harrasment issue ( good for her ) !!! We gays have come a long way ....... BUT OUR FIGHT FOR EQUALITY IS NOT OVER YET !!!B.T.W. ..SOME MEN WHO R HOMOPHOBIC R RESENTFUL BECAUSE THEY R HIDING SOMETHING ABOUT THEMSELVES !!!!!!!!!!!

I saw a t-shirt at a Pride event some years back that I think is perfect here. It said: "Its a Gay thing, let me help you understand." I'm very heartend that Hardaway seems to have learned and grown. Maybe he can help others and make the world a better place.

First off, it is not always true that those of who are opposed to the homosexual lifestyle must be "hiding something." Wouldn't that be judgemental of you to assume so? The same sort of judgemental behavior you and yours (pro-homosexual lifestyle) speak so highly against? Some of us just do not agree with homosexual behavior. This does not make all of us hateful. Also, not that I agree with what Tim said a year ago, or now... But, those of you who are homosexuals and those of you who don't mind the homosexual lifestyle should be giving Hardaway props for at least saying what he said. See, even when people try to do the right thing, ya'll still cry.

I forgive him.

It's not fair to judge ANYONE by their worst moment in life.

He made a big mistake and seems to be trying to correct it.

YOU GO Mr. Hardaway!!!I am NOW a proud mother of a daughter that is a proud lesbian.If we can understand & forgive;why shouldn't the wipe that wrote this article.I live this everyday!!! Edwards is a angry gay man that needs to spare the world more sarcasm.Instead of using your brain power being an "A" whole;why don't you use this tool to educate.It was very hard accepting that my daughter is a lesbian.I am sure it was very hard for Mr. Hardaway & his family to accept that he made a huge mistake and the world would sit in judgment.Some homesexuals chose to send him and his family hate mail,death threats,and vandalize his business but instead of retaliating he took a year to educate himself.Due to my daughters lovestyle I have cried many tears and it nearly destroyed my family.I completely understand why he said what he said and the real world forgives him!!!
