Three bisexual men were disqualified from participating in a major softball championship because "they were not gay enough".

Steven Apilado, LaRon Charles and Jon Russ, claim their softball team, D2, was disqualified from participating in the Gay softball World Series because the alliance ruled they were "non-gay."

The Californian men are now suing the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA) claiming they were discriminated against for not being gay enough to take part.

After D2 qualified for the 2008 championship series, the NAGAAA held a hearing to determine the sexual orientation of D2 players, The Seattle Times reported.

The three men claim they were asked "personal and intrusive questions" about their sexual attractions and desires.

At one point during the questioning, the D2 players were allegedly told: "This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series."

The men are asking for $75,000 each for emotional distress, are seeking to invalidate the alliance's findings on the men's sexual orientations and to reinstate D2's second-place World Series finish.

The NAGAAA was formed in 1977 and now includes more than 680 teams in 37 leagues across the U.S.

I know it's not like this, but it's kinda like excluding a half-black guy from the Black Panthers.

Actually, I can see this happen if he looks white.

I would LOVE to see this lawsuit.

That's half the fun in Gaborn threads, you read the title and think "no fscking wai." Then you open it up and sure enough, it does what it says on the tin.
