Is the 'Sport' of Bodybuilding inherently gay?

[Tapeworm]

Bodybuilding has been badly mismanaged. 

1. 95% of people who join a gym aren't training to improve their performance in a sport.  They just want to look good.

2. There's a worldwide fascination with looking good.  Just look at the money spent on cosmetic surgery, diet help, beauty products, etc.

3. Imagine an activity which has as it's ultimate goal: looking good.  Bodybuilding.

What kind of a fool would you have to be to take a pursuit, like bodybuilding, which is perfectly tailored to cash in BIG on the pursuit of fitness and beauty, and then stigmatize it until even its own practitioners are ashamed to admit their participation? 

Gayer than killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

The we are the most promiscuous fucker around myth that was propogated by christian fundamentalists and freaks was shattered when something called the Internet was invented...have you tried it...there are far more promiscuous heteros doing far more extreme sexual things than we could even dream of....why dont you try www.newsfilter.org just to get you started...good luck with that.

Also, your belief that a small percentage of the population could pornify, whatever that is, a huge group of free thinking, hyper masculine men on testosterone begs some science or at least some stats...How can a bunch of skinny lisping queens mastermind an entire organization of straights and control large groups of macho hetersexual males with bulging muscles......Maybe the answer is they are not...we do not cast magic evil spells on poor innocent straight people...althought the church used to insist we did.....You are giving us way to much power of you...what does that say about you?.......You need to take responsibility for yourself and you own actions and stop blaming a minority of people who cannot possibly defend ourselves since we are far out numbered.

Well for your information I'm not some homophobe right wing funadmentalist.  I have 5 male gay friends.  3/5 of them are more blatant, outspoken, and downright sexual than ANY of my straight friends.
