Gymnastics is one of the hardest sports to be out in. I think it's so hard because there are so many people who want to keep the whole gay thing away from it. But it's all the same to me, I think that it shouldn't matter what other people think. It's all about being yourself and not showing any fear in who you are to other people. I don't think there are a lot of gymnasts who are gay, no more than the ratio in normal life.
Gymnasts really are a tough breed.
Not just anyone can do the sport. I'm not saying that there are none, obviously, but it's definitely not a gay sport. Not everyone is going to like you no matter what you are doing, so the only person you really need to please is yourself. I think the longer you keep people at a distance from who you really are, the harder it will be to get over it when you decide to let them know that you were hiding things from them. Never hold back for anyone.
