While I do not agree with Evander Holyfield on this at all, everyone is entitled to their opinion…and there are a lot of people that feel this way. Evander is under fire after giving his view on being gay.
Check out what he had to say about it & weigh in…
Via TMZ:
Evander Holyfield told a housemate on ”UK Celebrity Big Brother” that being gay is no different than being handicapped … because a doctor can fix both … and was immediately SCOLDED like a child by “BB” producers.
Holyfield made the comments Sunday — during his first week in the BB house — when reality star Luisa Zissman asked him if there were any gay boxers in the sport.
Holyfield — a deeply religious Christian –cited the bible and said homosexuality is a choice … and something like a “handicap” … something doctors can fix.
…
Holyfield says he understood that his comments could be considered offensive … but never apologizes.

Update via TMZ:
Evander Holyfield may think homosexuality is wrong … but his son says the heavyweight boxer’s got nothing but love for gays — and even had a great relationship with a gay in-law.
Ewin Holyfield tells TMZ … Evander is no bigot — despite being bashed for expressing his opinion on homosexuality during last night’s “Celebrity Big Brother” in the UK.
Ewin says, “My dad is the most loving and caring person you will ever meet. He treats everyone like a human being … even if they are homosexual.”
In fact, Ewin says he has a gay uncle … and Evander treated him like a brother.
Ewin adds, “My dad feels that being gay is a choice … and naturally that’s how things work. You cannot procreate and make a baby with two women, or two men. But at the same time, my dad is not going to judge someone for their sexual orientation.”
