ITT we ask what we've always been too embarrassed to ask irl.

How come there are no male gay pro athletes?

lennytheweedwhacker · **Posted:** Mon Oct 24, 2011 8:43 pm

There are. They just don't typically come out until they're retired.

Also, if you're looking to be set up with one I don't know any personally. You might want to check with someone else though.

I'm serious though. Is it because being a pro athlete requires high levels of testosterone that gay males don't usually have?

locker room culture is probably 30 years behind the curve

you don't think there's any male gay pro-athletes? srsly?

I don't know, malice. This is the stupid question thread and I'm asking this here because I honestly don't know the answer and would like to hear people's opinions.

So you're implying there are gay pro athletes, but they don't come out. I guess that's plausible. Do you have any specific examples in mind or is it just conjecture?

Repressed homosexuals performing at a pro-level. That's worthy of admiration.

I don't have specific examples, but if you think about it logically, the percentage of gay people (globally? in the USA? not sure but wherever) is supposed to be 10%, yeah? so my assumption is roughly 10% of the men you enjoy watching play pro sports are gay men.

I'd also think it fairly safe to assume that being professional altheletes, these gay men perfer to stay in the closet about their sexuality since certainly at least in this country, the stigma of being gay is still way out of proportion with the reality of being gay, and it's probably not worth it to them to risk their career or popularity just for the sake of taking a stand about their homosexuality.

There's my opinion.
