I really dislike this stereotype of gays hating PE. But anyways, for me, I wasn't the best at sports but I was decent and did not get chosen last. So it was an ok-on experience.
And I got to see my high school crush shirtless multiple times.
I know and I'm aware of that. I've figured that much from interviewing the few gay friends I have. What I want to know is why does it happen only among the gays? What makes them inconfident about themselves when it comes to sports.
I can't believe that cause you're gay that means you suck at sports. Nope, I can't. It doesn't make sense.
Some gay men have kinda feminine moves and attitude. Most of the girl hate sports. I'm pretty masculine but at that time I felt any physical activity awkward, not to mention I was afraid I could expose myself to my contemporaries. At the end of the day I exposed myself by refusing to take actions that would expose me.
I remember I failed the physical exam they force students to take in California. If you fail you're forced to take PE all 4 years. My ass didn't do so hot on the push ups so I failed. I never did sign up for PE my Jr and Sr year so they would send me reminders that I wouldn't graduate. In the end it was all a bunch of bluff.
My problem was that I, first of all, sucked at soccer and volleyball, but their biggest problem was that I was even refusing to play with them. I just never felt comfortable among so many guys, especially when I was like 14-15 and just starting to revealing my identity to myself. I didn't like to show my body to other guys and I felt it awkward when I had to run so much and do all those strange moves. Kinda diva-ish attitude lol.
That's so sad. Now I understand why this child in my class would only watch from the side field when we played. I should've made fun of him
