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).

THREAD: BRAZIIAN JIU JSU IS GAY

If you knew I was gay, and YOUR amy, would you roll wh me?

AN INTERVIEW WH A GAY GUY BJJ PRACTNER!

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"). If you were to fd out that I go to your amy, or have BEEN to your amy, and you have rolled wh me, or any other gay man whout your knowledge (Consirg the gyms I have vised, and that me is a rather large one, there's probably at least a few guys on here I have rolled wh), what would your thoughts on the subject be? This qutn is for anyone, but particularly aimed at those who feel unfortable rollg wh gay mal.

What are your thoughts on Gay men jiujsu as a whole? The only issue is I'm gay. So my qutn is would any of you have an issue rollg wh a gay guy?

This isn't like the middle east or some super homophobic untry or cy.

FIRST OPENLY GAY UPLE BRAZILIAN JIU-JSU LNCH BOYNTON BEACH SCHOOL, URG CHANGE SPORT

Nicholas “Rh” Rotas is one of the few openly gay martial artists the Uned Stat.

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. “At the end of the day, to them I’m jt Rh: their teammate, iend and I jt happen to be gay. An openly gay martial artist fdg support group fellow fighters is an credible velopment.

A WORLD MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPN STRS VISIBILY AS AN OUT GAY FIGHTER

Not all sports are so acmodatg to gay athlet, though. Braziian Jiu Jsu is gay. Gay.

there is gayer ways to do then bjj.

Today I want to highlight a nversatn that I had recently wh a Brazilian female iend about the homophobia that is prent Brazil. After a general nversatn, we me to the subject of homosexualy sports and pecially Jiu-Jsu. I remember when travelg to Brazil, I was told that Jiu-Jsu ‘Pboys’ would beat up gays and transvt, bee they were ‘disgtg’ (I’ll spare you the words).

STRADDLG THE REDLE: THE MIC AND JIU JSU OF TY GAY

When I ask a practner, if they would md rollg wh a gay person? 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?
