A couple of years ago, I had a kid tell me for months that he was coming out for wrestling, even helped us move our new mat into out wrestling room. But when the first day of practice rolled around, he didn't show up, choosing to tell one of my captains that he wasn't going to wrestle because only "gays" would be seen in public in a singlet.
Ironically, the captain he said it to happened to be dating one of the best-looking girls in school (who was also one of our managers). My captain pointed that out to this homophobic, who had no response.
After missing out on that season and noticing that all of the girls who hung around our program were pretty good looking, the homophobic finally went out this past season � as a senior.
Lesson learned.
