Being more of a sci/tech nerd I’ve never really followed sports that much. Football, soccer, basketball just don’t seem to grab my interest for too long. Yet there is something fascinating about wrestling. It is beautiful, it is art. It is a symphony of life played by men. Written by their every planned move of their bodies.
Really they are beautiful gladiators. Yet the sports culture is still really homophobic. This is disheartening to those of us who are gay and want to join in. So for the following blog entries I’ll post stories of sport athletes that are inclusive, or gay themselves. After all we do have allies out there, we are not alone.

While we are on the subject my favorite sport is MMA, wrestling, and UFC. They seem like great fun sports, and to be openly honest I was first seduced by the sport by both my attraction for men and the way they dress or lack of dress in the sport. However that can wear out fast after a while so it all comes down to the show of skill in the ring.
