If the answer was yes, would that view change if I was NOT in a committed long term relationship? (I have been single before, and during that period slept with other people, albeit safely. If you knew I was gay, and in YOUR academy, would you roll with me? It's rare to hear a conversation about gay people from the people in the gym, but sometimes it DOES happen, and it makes me very glad that I have kept my classmates in the dark about my sexuality (I am very much "out" in every other aspect of my life).Įssentially, as a result of encountering these points of view elsewhere, I want to know your opinions, and pose a few questions to you guys: I personally think both of these are ridiculous, but nonetheless they are prevailing points of view that also seem to be quite common in the gym itself. On other websites dedicated to jiujitsu and grappling arts, there is definitely a noted stigma against homosexual males practising jiujitsu on the basis that either they're doing it for sexual reasons and trying to "get off" from it, or the basis that if a gay man rolls with them in class, they'll all suddenly contract HIV. The gym is quite a large one, and is very well known globally, though for reasons that should be apparent I'm not going to say which one.
I am gay, in a committed monogamous relationship with another man, and have been practising brazilian jiujitsu at a local gym for just over two years now (not too far off blue belt, if I trained more regularly, maybe I'd already have one, who knows).
Quick clarification: This isn't a request, but a serious question.
