Homosexuality is an aberration fo Nature. The process of thinking in chess do not implies anything against Nature. .. so truly, I repeat truly, chess players should not tend towards homosexuality.

Another thing. Homosexuality has a better environtment in "cranky" media, something to which chess does not belong.

But as Don Quixote said: ·you might find anything in God´s garden"

Doesnt matter if they gay as long as they play great chess and teach and share their chess ideas with us weaklings for free.

I think we are discussing an important point possibly a very very important point that has to be taken up to the highest level.

Chess is at one point which brings an adult and a child in close contact. ( as players and also as a coach and guide. ) In england all who come in close contact with the children professinally has to undergo police vetting. I do not know about the US.

In india I came across a story where a chess teaher ( may not be rated ) was arrested. ( the reason is implied in the contest )

Post 15 is amazing.
