MARLOW STERNUPDATED JUL. 12, 2017 8:35PM EDT / PUBLISHED NOV. 29, 2016 6:36AM EST CAMERON SPENCER/GETTYTHERE’S A STORY TOLD EARLY ON I AM BOLT, A NEW DOCUMENTARY CELEBRATG THE ATHLETIC PROWS OF USA BOLT, THAT HELPS ILLUMATE HOW HE BEME THE GREATT SPRTER TO EVER SET FOOT ON THE TRACK.THE YARN BEGAN AT THE 2002 WORLD JUNR CHAMPNSHIPS WHERE, BEFORE A HOMETOWN CROWD KGSTON, JAMAI, A THEN 15-YEAR-OLD BOLT WAS SO OVERE BY PRE-RACE NERV HE PUT HIS CLEATS ON THE WRONG FEET. IT DIDN’T MATTER. BOLT EMERGED VICTOR THE 200 METERS, EARNG THE DISTCTN AS THE YOUNGT WORLD JUNR GOLD MEDALIST EVER. UPON CROSSG THE FISH LE, HE TURNED AND SALUTED HIS ECSTATIC UNTRYMEN. IT IS STILL, HE SAYS, THE GREATT MOMENT OF HIS LIFE. DAYS LATER, BOLT’S PAL RAN AFOUL OF SCHOOL ADMISTRATORS FOR TOSSG HIS SHOE AT A FEMALE CLASSMATE, AND BOLT, EVER THE LOYAL IEND, REFED TO GIVE HIM UP. BOLT’S FATHER, WELLLEY, WASN’T HAVG . HE MARCHED DOWN THERE, YANKED HIS SON OF OUT CLASS, AND WHOOPED HIM ONT OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. “MY DAD WAS JT A REALLY SER PERSON,” BOLT TELLS THE DAILY BEAST. “HE WAS A DISCIPLARIAN, AND THAT REALLY HELPED ME BEE HE KEPT ME HONT AND TGHT ME TO ALWAYS RPECT PEOPLE. I LEARNED A LOT OF GREAT LSONS BY THE FACT THAT HE WAS A DISCIPLARIAN, BUT”—HE LGHS—“THAT SPECIFIC CINT DIDN’T REALLY HELP!”BOLT’S FATHER WOULD BEG TO DIFFER.

SERENA WILLIAMS. USA BOLT’S NAME GO RIGHT THERE,” SAYS SERENA WILLIAMS THE FILM. MUCH OF THE FILM IS DITED TO THE BUILD-UP TO THIS PAST SUMMER’S R OLYMPIC GAM, WHERE BOLT WAS VYG FOR HIS THIRD STRAIGHT THREE-GOLD OLYMPICS: THE 100M, 200M, AND 4 X 100M RELAY. THE MAN THEY LL LIGHTNG BOLT WASN’T FEELG PARTICULARLY MOTIVATED LEADG UP TO R—THAT IS, UNTIL JT GATL AND THE OTHER AMERIN SPRTERS BEGAN RIPPG TO BOLT FOR RECEIVG A MEDIL EXEMPTN AFTER JURG HIS ANKLE.“AT THE TRIALS, WHEN I HAD TO PULL OUT BEE I HAD A SMALL JURY LEADG UP THE CHAMPNSHIPS, THE MENTS THAT THE U.S. GUYS MA REALLY GOT UNR MY SK. I’VE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET ABOUT SOMETHG MY ENTIRE LIFE UNTIL THAT VERY MOMENT,” HE TELLS ME.

EARLY THE SEASON, SAY THE WTERTIME, I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I TRA VERY HARD BEE, AS MY ACH ALWAYS EXPLAS, THE BACKGROUND TRAG IS VERY IMPORTANT SCE THEN IF YOU GET JURED DURG THE SEASON WON’T BE A PLETE LOSS,” HE OFFERS. “I’VE REALLY FIGURED OUT OVER THE YEARS HOW TO TRA AND WHEN I N SLACK OFF A LTLE B. AND I NEED TO LET LOOSE SOMETIM! IT KEEPS ME SANE, AND KEEPS ME RELAXED.”LAST YEAR, BOLT ATTEND A TOWN HALL KGSTON, THE UNTRY’S PAL, HOSTED BY PRINT OBAMA.

IN JAMAI, SODOMY IS PUNISHABLE BY AS MUCH AS 10 YEARS PRISON, AND “GULLY QUEENS,” A MUNY OF LGBT YOUTHS WHO’VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOM FOR THEIR SEXUALY, ARE FORCED TO LIVE STORM DRAS.ON THE SUBJECT OF LGBT RIGHTS—OR THE LACK THEREOF— HIS NATIVE UNTRY, BOLT SAYS THAT HE PERSONALLY HAS NO PROBLEM WH THE LGBT MUNY. “FOR ME, I HAVE NO ISSUE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? OVER THE YEARS I’VE WORKED WH A LOT OF THE [GAY] PEOPLE, BUT JAMAI, ’S THE LE AND THE LAW,” HE SAYS. “I DON’T AL WH POLICS, BUT I WORK WH A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND I HAVE A FEW IENDS [THAT ARE GAY] AND STUFF LIKE THAT, SO ’S NOT A BIG ISSUE FOR ME, AND I TRY NOT TO GET VOLVED . I LET THE POLICIANS AL WH THAT.”BOLT’S SIRE TO REMA APOLIL ALSO EXTEND TO THE RECENT ELECTN OF DONALD TMP. “FOR ME, I’M NOT A POLICS PERSON—AT ALL. I DIDN’T REALLY FOLLOW THE ELECTN.

EVANGELILS AND THE GAY CLOSET: IS RAY BOLTZ STILL A CHRISTIAN?
Former Evangelil pastor Bce Gerencser asks the qutn: Evangelils and the Gay Closet: Is Ray BoltzStill a Christian? * bolt gay *
“I don't want to be a spokperson, I don't want to be a poster boy for gay Christians, I don't want to be a ltle box on TV wh three other people ltle box screamg about what the Bible says, I don't want to be some kd of teacher or theologian — I’m jt an artist and I’m jt gog to sg about what I feel and wre about what I feel and see where go. The majory of Christian publitns, while not openly attackg him, ma clear that they do not support his cisn to live his life as a homosexual man.
Most of the gay publitns appld him for g out publicly and see him as a way to rencile fah J wh a homosexual liftyle. Some are heartbroken and feel like Boltz needs to pray harr and he will be cured of his homosexualy. “I basilly lived an ‘ex-gay’ life — I read every book, I read all the scriptur they e, I did everythg to try and change.
Some fans look up to his cisn to go public so that people n see that gay people n love and serve the Lord. There are some that feel that his "givg to the temptatn of s" and "succumbg to the homosexual lie" wip out every shred of value that his mic ever had the world and that he should be "shunned om the body of Christ until he repents and chang his ways bee he n not receive fivens until he actually repents om the s. Livg a gay liftyle is equated by some Christians to havg an open marriage or cheatg on a spoe.
