‘IT’S ONLY GAY IF YOU MAKE EYE NTACT’
Today I want to highlight a nversatn that I had recently wh a Brazilian female iend about the homophobia that is prent Brazil. After a general nversatn, we me to the subject of homosexualy sports and pecially Jiu-Jsu.
I remember when travelg to Brazil, I was told that Jiu-Jsu ‘Pboys’ would beat up gays and transvt, bee they were ‘disgtg’ (I’ll spare you the words). When I ask a practner, if they would md rollg wh a gay person?
As if the fact that sce the person was gay, they would take advantage of the suatn … Is that what also happens when a man rolls wh a woman? Knowg that many gays do not make their g out and even ls the ultra macho world of bat sports, do you hontly thk that a guy or girl, would e to BJJ jt to ‘p a feel’ of a trag partner? A few years back, I was talkg wh a gay iend, who trag Judo.

It is te that the dojo, is not a nightclub, is not Tr, ’s still very rare that there have to have people flirtg on the mats Wether be men or women, straight or gay when you’re at the amy, your goal should be to advance and evolve. If tomorrow, a iend that you tra wh for years, told you they were gay, what would you? Still, you have to face , there are gay BJJ practners, you have surely e across some, you may have even rolled wh them.

THREAD: BRAZIIAN JIU JSU IS GAY
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).
If you knew I was gay, and YOUR amy, would you roll wh me? I'm cur about the views based not jt on the strange fear of gay men rryg around fe STDs, but also potentially on the ia that a sgle gay man would be a "sexual threat").
If you were to fd out that I go to your amy, or have BEEN to your amy, and you have rolled wh me, or any other gay man whout your knowledge (Consirg the gyms I have vised, and that me is a rather large one, there's probably at least a few guys on here I have rolled wh), what would your thoughts on the subject be?
