Former Boxing Champ Evander Holyfield Sparks Outrage With Comments About Gay People

Evander Holyfield was reprimanded by Big Brother for his controversial views on homosexuality

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield said he does not think being gay is normal and compared it to a handicap that can be fixed.
Holyfield made the anti-gay comments in the "UK Celebrity Big Brother" house while speaking to reality star Luisa Zissman about gay boxers.

When Zissman said it would be good for a gay boxer to be public about his sexuality, Holyfield was taken aback.
What would be good about it?" he asked. "That ain't normal."
After saying that the Bible spells out what's wrong and what's right, Holyfield compared being gay to
having a handicap that could be fixed.
"Only thing I'm trying to tell you... You know how handicapped people are born? You can't say 'cause they were born that way you can't move that. It is a choice. Come on, that ain't the way nobody is made... You ain't gay unless you sleeping with the opposite sex."
