OAKS PARK GAY SKATE IS ON A ROLL
* gay rollerblading *
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.

THREE OLYMPIC FIGURE SKATERS E OUT — 2 GAY MEN AND 1 QUEER WOMAN
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.
