OPENLY GAY JIU-JSU PRACTNER FDS SUPPORT FROM EVERYBODY
I'm Gay and do BJJ. 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").
