NextImg:Arguing with LGBT is 'f***ing suicide': Ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas calls out transgender double standard

Former NBA player for the Washington Wizards Gilbert Arenas criticized "the LGBT" for attempts to police language and make others adhere to terms that they have made up.

Arenas, who played 11 seasons in the NBA, went off in an interview with VladTV and condemned language policing by gay people and transgenders.

"You can use whatever vocabulary against me, I get to go back, now it becomes ... you get to use the 'oh LGB, can't do that,'" Arenas said with his hand raised.

"He just called me all kinds of, you know, F-words, and 'I'm gay and I need to suck this and suck that,' if I say that back, I'm done. Done! Even though it seems more real going the other way," he explained.

"The LGBT, right, I think it's the most unfair group walking the planet right now," Arenas described. “They have a playbook that only they are playing by, that they can only see, no one else gets to see this playbook, but we’re being judged by everything that’s in this playbook, but we don’t know it,” he continued.

"You're making it up as you go. ... It's not like there's this dictionary of updates and we can sit there and click it. ... That's really unfair now you can cancel somebody on a playbook that only you have," the former NBA guard went on.

"Having an argument with someone from the LGB is fing suicide, right? ... They have the whole dictionary to use against you, right, they can say whatever the f they want." he added.

Arenas also described what he called a "loophole" in logic for men wanting to go into women's bathrooms.

"If I say 'hey, as a straight man I feel comfortable going to the ladies' restroom,' right, the reason that it'll be stopped is because women get to choose, like 'hold on, no we do not feel comfortable with that straight man coming into here,'" Arenas began.

"If a transgender says they feel comfortable going into ladies' room, the women don't get to choose and say 'hold on, no we do not feel comfortable with a transgender coming to the back' and they automatically get granted. I'm asking why if a woman can keep everyone else out, why can't, why don't they get the veto or vote?" Arenas asked.

The interviewer then brought up a double standard in media, using an example of a black character in a show saying "I hate white people," and said it wouldn't be allowed if it was a white person saying that about black people.

"That's the problem, that's why I have this standoffish [attitude] when it comes to stuff like that. If it's not equally down the middle, f*** off trying to convince me," Arenas responded.

Arenas was a three-time NBA All-Star and three-time All-Pro who averaged over 20 points per game.
