Here I was as an out gay man. I am a 29-year-old gay man who works at a full-time job wh a si job verg Dallas sports, pecially the Texas Rangers. I’m an out gay man and a damn proud one.

I didn’t know any gay guys.

I had only been exposed to the Hollywood gay stereotype, so the only gay exposure I got were flamboyant dus who talk high pch voic wh energetic mov and liked figure skatg.

WHEN THIS SPORTS WRER SAID HE’S GAY, RAD HOSTS GOT MAD AT HIM FOR BURYG THE LEAD

I thought I uldn’t be gay and maybe I was jt cur. To be clear, I wasn’t surround by homophobia. I knew I was gay.

TAG: GAY WRER

I figured my reer sports was over sce a gay guy workg profsnal sports jt don’t happen. On the first day, I me out as gay to my therapist.

I mean, a closeted gay man verg a baseball team was hardly a norm, and still ate at me, but I didn’t want to say anythg bee I didn’t want to the moment. Later the year I told a few more people I was gay. For months I challenged myself to go public, but aga stggled wh the thought of a gay man verg sports.

Guys who didn’t e close to f Hollywood’s stereotype me out as gay, and the revelatn h. I tsted myself and I took to social media and put out there that I was gay.
