People are scared to talk about the gay angle, but it is legitimate angle to pursue and I outlined the reasons why in this earlier report on the Manti Te’o situation.
Until Te’o speaks no one knows anything in regard to his sexuality, why he lied, if he was duped or whatever else that needs to be cleared up from this crazy story.
For what it is worth Fox Sports Jason Whitlock says members of Te’o team have told him he isn’t gay.
I was told by the Te’o camp that Te’o is not gay. I was told this the day the story broke…. That’s why I felt free to go back to jokes.

I dont know or care about Teo’s sexuality. I just thought it might explain his fake girlfriend. His camp says that’s not the case. #whoknows

Te’o advisers need to be very careful with the information they are leaking to the media. It appears they are trying to create a cover story for Te’o, but if anything is found out to be manufactured it will only hurt him in the long run.
