but the whole "competitive bodybuilding scene" is gayer than a $3 bill
It has become so a bit lately, now that we've had a lot of sordid stuff about the behind-the-scenes activities of some of the pros come to light. Back in the 90s, I followed bodybuilding pretty closely via the magazines (mainly FLEX and a couple of others) and I never once saw competitions or even bodybuilding as being 'gay'. The mags focused mainly on training and nutrition and made it seem like a cool subculture that wasn't for everyone.
Problem now is that in forums like this one, people are free to speak their mind and slander whoever they want in whichever way they want, all under the shield of anonymity. Which is why some guys try and outdo the others in proclaiming how cool they are simply because they are disgusted by bodybuilding. In their defense, there are no cool characters in the "sport" now to look up to.
I know Danny is just trying to get a raise out of some people here cause he loves the drama, but some of the guys here always seem to be trying a little too hard about convincing everyone else that they aren't gay, which they do by referring to 'men in thongs' and all that. Guess what, no one cares whether you are gay or not and whether you think BB is gay or not (not addressing you there, GB). And as much as I love reading the stuff posted on here cause of the entertainment factor, I still mainly come on here to catch up with BB news as limited in scope and entertainment it is - it's not something you can discuss with anyone in your family or friends.
