very well said. back in the day you had regular men on stage regular men in the audiance and regular men in the gym. a very few anywhere were gay. some publishers and some judges and yes some competetitors. most hid it cuz bodybuilding was all about being a bigger better built MAN. then the gays and the fags started coming around. guys got lazier and lazier. yes they did some "gay" stuff back in the day for money. but tnothing like now. and the biggest problem is that people like the one who started this post is always trying to turn everything into a gay thing. gays exist ( they shouldnt but they do) the public just accepts now so more and more are flamming around trying to get everytwhere.
