Former New York Giants Tyree Proves He's a Bigot

I'll probably catch a lot of Hell for these following remarks, but I am past done with members of the black community who continue to spew homophobia and want LGBT rights put to a vote. The latest example is former New York Giants wide receiver and bigoted ass David Tyree (pictured at left) who was in Albany lobbying to have marriage equality put to a public vote rather than left to the legislature. If Tyree wants a public vote as the vehicle to decide minority rights, then let's apply the standard across the board. And guess what, if that happened, blacks like Mr. Tyree might find themselves in a whole world of trouble in some parts of this nation even in this day and age. Has he ever heard of the word segregation? Tyree is literally no better than the white segregationists of my youth who wanted segregation forever. Minority rights are NEVER something put up to a vote by the majority. NEVER, EVER! The Advocate has highlights on the efforts of this bigoted ass:
*
David Tyree lobbied against the marriage equality bill on Monday in Albany, where he said that passage of the measure would lead to social instability and called instead for "a people's vote" on the issue.
*
“If we redefine marriage, we’re opening up the door for a whole different type of lawlessness to come in,” Tyree said at the state capitol building, where marriage equality advocates and opponents, including many clergy members, held loud but peaceful rallies throughout the morning and afternoon.
*
“Who’s to say polygamists can’t have five wives after that?” added Tyree, who is known for an improbable catch in the final moments of the 2008 Super Bowl. “So it opens up the door for the moral fabric of our society to move in what I believe is a negative direction.”
*
His stance against marriage equality puts Tyree at odds with other professional athletes including the NBA’s Steve Nash, the NHL’s Sean Avery, and Michael Strahan, also formerly of the New York Giants. All three recorded videos this year for the New Yorkers for Marriage Equality series from the Human Rights Campaign, which helped spark an unprecedented level of conversation about professional sports and gay rights.

The prospect of a “people’s vote” on marriage equality seems unlikely in New York, which in contrast to states such as California has no ballot initiative process akin to the one that led to Proposition 8. New York has limited referendum practices that would allow voters to consider a constitutional amendment passed by two consecutive sessions of the legislature or proposed by a constitutional convention, but no such amendment could be presented any earlier than the 2014 ballot.
