SPORTS PLAYING
As I was reading on one of my pageflake of Outsports the profile of Hank Weintraub, I though to myself there must be more gay and bi-sexual athletes out there who are not open to the outside. Sports is and has been an area dominated by masculinity and hetereosexuality to the point that it's assumed all players participanting are straight. Well, mostly for the men anyways. Women on the other hand get a bad rap from society when a female acts too masculine for her own good that others start to question her sexual orientation, but for a male, not the case. Why is that? Why is it that when men play sports, they are automatically masculine and heterosexual status, but women are not, but instead challenged in their femininity and sexual orientation because of playing sports? Sports has been a constructed by that heterosexual masculinity. How so? But there are few that play, not hiding their sexual orientation. Well, hear is a blog that related to being not heterosexual, of Zach Puchtel, a bi-sexual basketball athlete, someone who break that stereo-type of the typical jock on both sides of the fence (no pun intended). Enjoy.
