AN INTERVIEW WH A GAY GUY BJJ PRACTNER!
Not a sgle man on the team r that they’re sparrg and trag wh a gay man, and Rotas tak pri that fact. “It sadns me that many gay people may not ever experience the amazg support and skill offered by the sports bee of fear: fear that they won’t be accepted, or that they might get kicked out or shunned for beg who they are. There is a dishearteng storyof a man who was kicked out of his gym after beg outed South Carola a few years back, and I thk that reputatn has stuck among the gay muny spe of clear progrs over the years.

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.
