In a 2014 terview wh The Guardian, Castets explaed surfg’s ep-rooted homophobia more pth.

There have never really been any gay surfers out there, so I would jt ll that ignorance and a lack of visibily.

GAY GOLD COAST

Marketg for popular surfer brands also ntue to be heteronormative, rercg archaic genr rol—Billabong land hot water back 2017 for an ad that many lled sexist bee while showed a male surfer shreddg wav, the female was featured posg sensually on the beach a biki wh no surfboard the past few years hostg Gay Surf Brazil, Dalla Chia has heard stori om people who didn’t feel fortable divg to the sport bee of s “macho culture. ”In the Uned Kgdom, London-based actor Mattie Stewart and his iend Kris Cilak have been planng trips they’ve dubbed Gay Surf Week for the past three years. Stewart only started surfg three years ago while on a trip to Fuerteventura Spa’s Canary Islands and fell love wh the sport, so he and Cilak cid to turn to a hashtag (#GaySurfWeek) and a yearly travel statn.

Now, anizg Gay Surf Week has bee a retreat of sorts, givg him the opportuny to fd mararie wh other gay surfers. While same-sex marriage is legal and Brazil's Supreme Court voted favor of makg homophobia and transphobia crim, vlence agast LGBTQ people ntu. In 2018, 420 LGBT people were killed across Brazil acrdg to the rights group the Gpo Gay da Bahia.

Addnally, Jair Bolsonaro, the untry’s current far-right print and a self-clared homophobe said earlier this year that “we n’t let this place bee known as a gay tourism paradise. Brazil n’t be a untry of the gay world, of gay tourism.

” (Bolsonaro is also famoly known for havg said he would rather have a ad son than a gay son. )Due largely to the polil suatn Brazil at the moment and some ncellatns, Gay Surf Brazil has had to put plans for this year’s ftivi on hold.
