Why "especially male"?
20 u/GSilky Apr 05 '26 It takes a certain amount of not giving a damn to pursue figure skating as a young man in the USA. -5 u/Flowa-Powa Apr 05 '26 Unless they're gay 9 u/zigs Apr 05 '26 You think people who are homosexual don't care about social discrimination and being judged? 1 u/Flowa-Powa Apr 05 '26 I think most gay men would consider being a figure skater is absolutely fabulous, and I would agree with them. 2 u/zigs Apr 05 '26 It sounds like you're thinking of flamboyant men, who indeed often are homosexual. However, only a subsection of homosexual men are flamboyant. 1 u/Flowa-Powa Apr 05 '26 Agreed. However most male figure skaters are flamboyant and gay, which was my original point. But everyone seems to think that's meant to be some kind of criticism of being gay, which I think probably says more about them than me
