GAY WATER POLO PLAYER ME OUT TO TEAMMAT. 3 DAYS LATER THEY ELECTED HIM PTA.
Bee of the overwhelmg acceptance that I received om my first le of fense I had the strength to be pletely hont wh myself and be hont wh the rt of my iends and fay about beg gay. What’s the average Penn State stunt’s feelg toward gay people? Would a new team be off put by a gay member on their team?
On May 8 I cid to e out as gay to the world the bt way I knew how -- by postg on Facebook. I am Gay. Among my favor was om Jake, a teammate, who wrote: "Anyone who do water polo is at least a ltle gay.
'ANYONE WHO DO WATER POLO IS AT LEAST A LTLE GAY'
I've been my high school team's MVP and team pta for water polo sce my sophomore year.
I've known that I was gay sce middle school, but I tly didn't accept myself for until the middle of high school. So I cid to tell a few teammat at a time and see how assistant ach Ey was the first person on my team that I had ever told I was gay.
The thg I need to tell you is that I'm gay.
WHEN GAY SAILOR WAS OUTED, HE FOUND HIS NAVY BUDDI HAD HIS BACK
Beg gay will not change who I am.... Beg gay shouldn't be the fg part of me, 's a small part of me the fact that shouldn't change our iendship. If there is one thg that I uld ask of you is that you don't tell anyone about me beg gay.
I was so relieved to know that Ey supported me and didn't re that I was gay. I didn't tell any other teammat that I was gay until I me out publicly on Facebook. Anytime we n somethg like this we will hear om someone (always gay) cryg how we are "sexualizg" athlet and settg back the movement.
"Curnick, are you gay? I was alone at the time and tears, and I cid to e clean — y, I'm gay, I told them. After I me over that fal hurdle, I began to live openly, and my life as a gay man flourished.

I grew up thkg that beg gay was wrong — that beg gay meant you f a stereotype. I'm gay.
She had asked me many tim growg up if I was gay, but beg aaid of who I was, I never uld adm . There, stctors and fellow trae nstantly threw homophobic slurs around.
I distctly remember one day when an stctor said, "Oh look at those faggots, " and then turned to sayg, "Wa, 's OK to be gay, YOU jt n't be gay. This prolonged my life the closet and I uld not be seen as gay to the rt of my class. It's where I me out, and I learned to live an open life and grow as a gay man.
