Navratilova asks if Court had gay feelings Martina Navratilova on Friday questioned whether Margaret Court had had "feelings for women" as she renewed her attack on the Australian great's staunch opposition to gay marriage. The 18-time major-winner said Court's statement that homosexuality was a choice suggested she may have wrestled with the issue. Court's stance against same-sex unions has drawn threats of protests at the Australian Open. You say it is a choice to be gay; do you mean to say you had feelings for women as well as men and chose men? That might explain your certainty on the issue," Navratilova wrote in the Herald Sun newspaper. "You frame the whole gay issue in religious terms and quote the Bible," she added. While I am not a theologian, I do know these same Bibles have been used in the past to justify slavery, to deny men of colour the right to vote and to try to deny inter-racial couples the right to marry. Court again defied calls for protests to visit the Australian Open, where she has a stadium named after her, on Friday. Court, who is a church pastor, provoked anger before the event with her conservative views. "I have spoken to her years ago, but, you know, she was all about Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," Navratilova said earlier. Britain's Laura Robson wore a rainbow hairband in support of equal rights, but with two days to go there has been little sign of protest at the event in Melbourne.
