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

“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.
