Gay/Bi/Tran artists???

[Cobra Commander]

Hey guys just a quick question. Do any of you know of any gay/bisexual/transgender Wing Chun students or Boxers? Muay Thai, Filipino arts?

Just curious and, how does your instructor or peers react and deal with this when the student reveals his/her/(it?)'s identity?

To me, when I saw a video clip of Mike Tyson kissing one of his male trainer's full on the lips after a successful match, it shows me that the world of professional boxing doesn't have any "beef" with such an issue.
I think Mike Tyson might actually be bisexual... a very tough and dangerous bisexual.

Just curious

Yeah, SURE. :p

We've had at least one openly gay guy who was a good student. He wasn't treated any different to anyone else.

Embrace diversity, don't fear it.

Yeah, right, Mike T is such a well-adjusted individual.

In Rocky III, Apollo Creed kisses Paulie full on the lips while Rocky is beating Mr T (the guy with the obviously out-gay haircut). If that ain't validation of bi-curiosity in boxing, I don't know what is.

Film about the Muay Thai fighter who used his purses (tee-hee! ;) ) to pay for his sex change operation:

Why? You looking to join?

There's a thread called "Does Wing Chun make you go gay?" somewhere in this forum that a search might find. This might help you, er, explore you interests further.

I've heard that there's a Secret Gay Wing Chun Society somewhere in the Northeast. Hmmm... Might have been San Francisco, actually.... El Castro maybe?:D

Why does a person's sexuality matter in a martial arts school? Who cares? Mike Tyson kissing a guy on lips says to me that he is comfortable with his masculinity. Unless of course he slipped him the tounge, grabbed the guys junk and dry humped his leg. That means something else entirely.
