THIS GAY TEENAGE CYCLIST IS ONE OF THE FIRST PRO MALE RIRS TO EVER E OUT

Acrdg to Merriam-Webster  the term 'gay' is fed as: 1a: happily exced: merry 1b: keenly alive and exuberant: havg or ducg high spirs 4a: homosexual 4b: of, relatg to, or ed by homosexuals Therefore, I e this term loosely when scribg this blog. I will start off by sayg Y I am, as most of you… * cyclist gay *

In his announcement, Laevens acknowledged he don’t know any other active openly gay male cyclists. “I didn’t fd difficult to exprs myself, but I did sport, bee I don’t know any [cyclist] who is gay, ” he said. "Estimat on the proportn of UK and US people who are gay or bisexual range om about three to seven per cent, as reported a recent Cyclg Weekly vtigatn to the absence of openly LGBTQ+ rirs the profsnal timat suggt there should be between five and 12 LGBTQ+ rirs currently ridg the Tour France.

"The whole peloton, the whole cyclg fay, will have to face when somebody will feels fortable enough to clare [they are LGBTQ+], " Guarnieri says of how the more homophobic elements of the sport will have to tch up quickly when the first pro rir cis to e out. I mean people thk thgs like yeah, this job is too hard for a homosexual person.

MOST CYCLISTS ARE GAY?

Brendan Holer is a Masters Natnal Champn, 9-time state champn, a pro cyclg ach, and openly gay. The stigma of the gay male athlete persists, and ’s a stigma he hop to change. * cyclist gay *

"I was brought up by a war generatn; they grew up when gay people were put jail. Beg homosexual was so unthkable that you jt wouldn't be gay. "I was brought up thkg you'd be better ad than gay.

GRAEME OBREE REVEALS HE IS GAY

Ele Brish cyclist Clay Davi says more mt be done to stamp out anti-gay sentiments. * cyclist gay *

I mt have known I was gay and was so unacceptable, " said the Obree's private life and his achievements on the bike have bed to make him one of cyclg's most enigmatic figur. For people who like gay stuff and also bik. Of the 978 rirs the men’s pro peloton, none are this statement is te on the surface – not a sgle male rir at WorldTour or ProTeam level publicly intifi as gay – ’s starkly implsible as soon as that surface is scratched.

If we take the low-end timate for men, three per cent, then you would expect there to be about 30 gay or bi rirs the pro peloton – enough for a whole WorldTour squad. The qutn, then, is not whether there are gay pros but why none of them feel ee to be open about who they really are. As a gay man who has worked sports media sce the mid-Noughti, I n appreciate why a rir might feel pelled to keep their sexualy a secret.

Even magaze offic – surely ls laddish than race paddocks – I’ve lost unt of the sually homophobic ments I’ve heard. Generally the have not been tentnal sults but rather thoughtls so-lled banter, “gay” ed as a pejorative term, and beg gay only ever mentned terms of speculatn or cheap humour.

Ryan (not his real name) is a gay rir who traed among top-flight pros and peted several UCI rac before droppg out of the sport a few years his mid-20s, he has agreed to speak to CW on ndn of anonymy. “None of the rirs I traed wh would be explicly homophobic an abive way, ” Ryan tells me. ” He explas that securg ris on teams was “all about who you know” and spected the nnectns would be harr to foster as a gay rir, possibly to the triment of his reer.

TAYLER WIL: I HOPE THE MEN'S PELOTON BE MORE ACCEPTG OF GAY RIRS

He hop his story will make rirs “more aware that how they act has an effect on others” and that gay rirs g through the ranks today will feel ee to be wholly themselv. ” Cyclg behd society The personal ttimony om Ryan chim wh rearch showg that most LGBTQ+ sportspeople have experienced homophobia; many end up feelg ostracised and suffer related mental health problems.

THIS CYCLIST STARTED GAY’S OKAY CYCLG TO CELEBRATE DIVERSY AND IMPROVE REPRENTATN

“It was jt the gay jok, beg asked nstantly ‘Are you gay? “When to homophobic banter, needs to be taken more serly by erng bodi.
