Mike Sims-Walker doesn’t get the whole coming out as gay thing

Mike-Sims-Walker

Remember Mike Sims-Walker? Sure you do. He’s the guy who had one or two decent seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars about five years ago before he suffered a knee injury and nobody wanted him anymore. But he still kicks around on Twitter, and like many others he offers some hard-hitting views on controversial topics.

For example, Sims-walker took to Twitter on Thursday morning to express some confusion over the concept of coming out of the closet.

Why do gay people make a announcement that they are gay?

Straight people don't come out and say they straight

If your gay be gay, no one cares what your sexual preference is jus keep it to yourself

— MIKE SIMS-WALKER (@MikeSimsWalker) October 30, 2014

Well, Mike, where do we begin? For starters, straight people aren’t discriminated against for being straight. They’re not bullied into thinking their sexual preference is “wrong” and don’t feel the need to go through life hiding who they are. People like Michael Sam hope that by coming out they’ll inspire others to overcome their fear of being bullied or worse.

Wait, why am I even getting into all this? Who’s Mike Sims-Walker? Never mind. Carry on.
