THE BATE: HOW GAY IS MMA?
I am gay, a mted monogamo relatnship wh another man, and have been practisg brazilian jiujsu at a lol gym for jt over two years now (not too far off blue belt, if I traed more regularly, maybe I'd already have one, who knows). On other webs dited to jiujsu and grapplg arts, there is fely a noted stigma agast homosexual mal practisg jiujsu on the basis that eher they're dog for sexual reasons and tryg to "get off" om , or the basis that if a gay man rolls wh them class, they'll all sudnly ntract HIV. It's rare to hear a nversatn about gay people om the people the gym, but sometim DOES happen, and mak me very glad that I have kept my classmat the dark about my sexualy (I am very much "out" every other aspect of my life).
