Gay Athletes? Does anybody know of any openly (or closeted?) gay athletes. I was watching the Masters golf tournement, and it made me wonder if any of the golfers were in fact gay.
Then I wondered who else in the sports world was gay.
It's a shame that people in the public spotlight still have to closet themselves, even in this day and age...
Thanks! |
| I THINK THE FIRST TO DECLARE HIS KIFESTYLE WAS IN THE LATE 60S EARLY 70S DAVID KOPAY OF THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS . I THINK IF PLAYERS DID . THE OUTCRY WOULD AFFECT THE TEAMS BOTTOM LINE . I DONT KNOW , TO OLD TO UNDERSTAND |
Gay athletes? I asked this question before and it disappeared from yahoo so I will ask again. If your favorite athlete came out as gay, would you as a fan be able to support him(or her) and/or the team they played on? Would it matter to you? |
| It would not matter to me. Being gay doesn't make him/her any worse or better of an athlete. |
Why are gay athletes not accepted but ones who commit heinous crimes like sexual assault or rape ok? Ben roethlisberger Mike Vick and Mime Tyson were allowed to resume their careers in sports despite their crimes and were pretty much welcomed back with open arms.Yet tomorrow if an athlete were to come out of the closet and admit their gay his career would be over and they'd be black balled from their sport.Why the double standard? |
| Apparently you're more masculine than ever if you beat your wife/gf or abuse animals. And Rape or assault is the ultimate proof of machismo. |
What is the percentage of gay athletes in pro sports? Do you think it's more or less than national percentage? |
| of gays that have come out? almost zero. nobody that comes out ever manages to stay around for long |
Which pro sport has the most gay athletes? I heard it is womens basketball ,but I heard a lot of tennis players are gay , swiiming ,gymnastics and also there's gay people in football and soccer as well.
I don't have anything against the gay community but I was wondering. |
| By far bodybuilding, if you've ever been in a hotel that had bodybuilders in it u would agree. |
Are there any openly gay athletes competing in the Beijing Olympics? Not that it really matters, I'm just curious. Thanks! |
| I would imagine there are probably a few, but probably keep it under wraps. Many countries, no matter how liberal they are, still would not want a homosexual representing their country in ANYTHING. |
Does anyone know of any current professional athletes that are gay and just won't admit to it? I'm sure there have to be quite a few given the ratio of gay to straight in the general population but I don't even know of a single professional athlete that will admit they are gay while they are still involved in the sport. Does anyone know of any? |

A cricketer comes out of the closet and admits it was harder than facing brett lee. The irony is that if anyone should be coming out of the closet it is brett lee. |
Were any of you gay men athletes in high school? An athlete from high school said he was amazed about how open I was about myself. (He was a straight guy.) He also said he knew other guys who find it hard to be as open as myself. So were any of you frat guys in high school? |
