New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan has not tried to defend against rumors of his ex-wife's claims of him being gay, Queerty.com reported.
After his ex, Jean, claimed that Michael lived an 'alternative lifestyle,' he resumed his normal slate of activities, which included dinner with Ian Smith, a doctor Jean suggested was his lover. ( Smith, who is married, says he is not gay. ) According to the New York Daily News, Strahan told a New York radio station that he had many friends who were gay or bisexual and that he was OK with that. 'This is New York City,' Strahan said. 'If you can't accept people for being people, then you have no business being here.'
