Wrestler & Coach.gif

I wrestled in high school (and a little bit in college.) I can tell you from my experiences alone, that the number of closeted men who participate, coach and attend wrestling matches is significant. 

One of my wrestling mates from high school went on to work as a wrestling coach after he graduated. Sadly committed suicide after having been caught diddling with a high school boy. 😢 Very sad. Not that I had the best gaydar back rhen...but it never occurred to me that he might be gay..and I dont think he necessarily was.

Same here. The gay attraction seems so obvious now, especially as we look at these images, but I and my teammates were largely oblivious to it then.

It's funny because two of my closest friends in college were pretty serious wrestlers and they are 100% straight and they swear up and down that there were pretty much no gay wrestlers. I just think they were oblivious because they had no idea about me until I told them at 30. And they were from towns where I think a gay teen might actually be risking his life by coming out.  They don't really think those aspects through.

I imagine he was working very hard not to give out any signs. I know I was in HS/college. We are the age cohort that is probably the most fucked up about being gay...most of us figured it out just as it seemed everyone who was was getting a fatal incurable disease.

How old was he when this happened?
