An extreme sport volvg strapg rollerblas on your feet and dog stunts on urban environment. rollerbladg is very unrground The Uned Stat, only know about by rollerblars skateboards and some bikers. rollerbladg was the lime light t the mid and late 90s, but skateboardg felt threatened by how ol uld be, and put out a plethora of negative advertisg strippg rollerbladg of s fame at a time when was really startg to progrs. and now everyone thks rollerbladg and the people who do are "gay", when really they're some of the olt people out there, and rollerbladg is now on a higher level than skateboardg and bikg bed.

Media like Jump Street Podst recently terviewed Tim Adams to openly talk about beg gay. Beg lled a ‘ubooter’ or ‘gay’ is an old trope for the bla muny. “Inle is gay” … blablabla All this topics are retrogra, as the hate between skaters and rollers.
I do, as people wh the mdset of beg unol or maybe havg ternalized homophobia om the word have still mataed that mdset. To me this feels silently homophobic/transphobic/sexist some s, or at least implied. He/Him, Gay.
I’m lucky a way to be a young, whe, gay man as there are other parts of the lgbtqia+ muny who are not always as easily accepted. Another thg that seems to e up is this ia that somehow someon skill level giv their sexualy a pass, I’ve fely heard a few “did you know he was gay? Image stgglg wh your sexualy as a teenager, participatg this sport/muny you loved while beg faced wh homophobia that often rulted your iends assertg very strongly how they’re not gay, bladg isn’t gay, how beg lled gay was the worst sult anyone uld thk of.

It put a chip on my shoulr, created ternalized homophobia and ma me want to be anythg but myself for a long time. From where I s, bladg still feels some need to make sure everyone knows how not “gay” we are.
I wasn’t gay or a transvte. Admtedly I was homophobic growg up, as a self-fense mechanism. Currently I intify myself as a ‘Gay’ person, but really si me I feel openly ‘Bisexual’ sce I do not le out that the future I may have relatnships wh women.
I thought that people were the same homophobic than soccer or even more. I have met que a few women… Melissa Brown was a great disvery, I Love you Mel, obvly my BF Mery Muñoz and the only other gay blar I know: Alvaro Segura. It tak urage to be that iend that nonts another iend about g “gay” a rogatory form.

Be brave enough to nont your boys or your girliends when they are beg out of le and g gay jok a rogatory form. Gay is also a word that was thrown about back then. For example if I didn’t e to a ssn I would be lled “gay” for not gog.

My iends, well let’s say, more of my close iends were not surprised I was gay and some even knew I was gay before I knew. My skate fam, I would say they’ve all been supportive… I’ve yet to have a skate iend be homophobic towards me.
Beg gay, i’ve not been discrimated to my face.
I lived Florida on the Florida-Geia le growg up, where lbians and gay men were tensely bullied. The were the early 2000’s and was not wily accepted to be “gay” the bladg muny. The loose slang terms ed to scribg bad tricks, such as; “that was gayyyyy” and the term “fa**ott” is ed equently at skateparks.
