Gay for guns
December 18, 2013 at 7:08 pm
I kid you not.
Quote:Chris Cheng already broke barriers when the Asian-American tech geek won the fourth season of History Channel’s shooting competition, “Top Shot.” On Tuesday, he revealed he’s gay.
After winning “Top Shot,” Cheng quit his job at Google to pursue the show’s prize of a professional marksman contract. Cheng knows he’s breaking down stereotypes about his sport.
“One reason why I chose to come out publicly is that I’m a gay guy in a gun world,” the 34-year-old said.
“Hunters, sport shooting enthusiasts, and collectors are too often stereotyped as part of efforts to politicize guns, as we witnessed last week on the anniversary of the horrific Newtown tragedy,” he continued. “Take it from someone who in a single package is not only gay, but Chinese, Japanese, California-born, a college graduate, a tech geek who worked on cool Google projects, a gun enthusiast and a passionate Second Amendment advocate. Our community is as diverse as anyone’s.”
Cheng, who has been with his boyfriend for more than four years, went on to thank the National Rifle Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation for supporting his decision to come out.

Kudos go to him for coming out of the closet. However, as someone who is adamantly against guns, his being gay in no way persuades me toward his love for fondling guns.
Unless they are these types of guns:

I would like to see him share a duck blind with Phil Robertson from 'Duck Dynasty', who went homophobe in a GQ interview.

Is it crass to make a 'Cream of Sum Yung Guy' quip?
Oh, and one question bugs me....since when are gay guys 'straight shooters'?

Ahhh, I remember the day my best friend, also a gay man, explained rimjobs to me. Good times, good times.

And I'm sure the Republican party will welcom gay NRA members into their mix, right?
