Jim Tressel is as conservative as his sweater vest. He’s a devout Christian who wrote a book about faith and leadership. He boasts a personality that, at least publicly, is more gray than scarlet; a multimillionaire who still mows his own lawn.

The buttoned-down Ohio State coach just took part in what is apparently a major college football first. He exchanged emails last month with Outlook Columbus magazine, the initial interview a big-time coach has done with a publication that serves the gay community.

Good for him, it's nice to see conservatives who remember that Jesus taught love towards everybody, not just those that line up with their interpretation of truth.

 
The societal prejudice against gays has always seemed so silly to me. Who cares if a dude is gay? How does that affect me or mine? I don't care if a guy on the Huskers is gay. If he puts his time in at the weight room, plays well and he's a good teammate, who cares who he goes home to at night?

Lol. My freshman year in college I had a gay guy that lived across the hall from me. He was the complete opposite of a stereotypical gay guy. He was a really sloppy dresser (I think he owned 4 shirts), he rarely bathed, his room was a mess, etc. Then he came out to me and my roommate. We were a little shocked. He was like the anti-Queer Eye guys, but still a homosexual. Interesting guy though, had an impressive butterfly collection.
