Chess: Queen Sacrifice

"I've every sympathy with his cause, but I didn't think it was appropriate to have the sentiment on the T-shirt in every photograph with junior chess players – under-10s, under-12s and under-14s – promoting a particular sexuality."

Lara Barnes, English Chess Federation - commenting on her decision/advice to ECF president, CJ de Mooi (pictured), not to wear a Stonewall t-shirt "Some People Are Gay - Get Over It" when handing out prizes.
How very ironic.
Quoted in The Observer.
CJ's statement.

Doesn't the very existence of children "promote a particular sexuality"?
Or does Ms Barnes still think the stork brings them?
In fact, seeing as all human beings are basically adverts for the bestial act of heterosexual intercourse, why not just ban people?
Get over it!
