Like everyone else said , Check your numbers, and really what yr is it? I believe it is 2002, just because a guy wants to be a cheerleader or is a cheerleader does not mean he's gay!!! Secondly, I was a cheerleader in high school and none of our male cheerleaders were gay, how do I know, One was my brother, and I know fo ra fact he his far from Gay. Matter o fact, he liked cheerleading so much he went to cheer in college and now is a pro cheerleader for the Ravens .
As for the other Drama going on in this thread, all I can Say is What . If you can't handle ladies with something to say, well just go ahead and be prepared to get your feelings hurt a few times. Opinionated women, are the ones that make the world go around, we're not afraid to rock da boat a little bit.

LOL.
First, my feelings are never hurt by anything said on these boards.
Second, the opinionated women theory again, because a woman has something to say that is offensive, does not make her opinionated. I can handle anyone with something to say, it usually makes for a better convo, it's when they don't have anything to say and make rude remarks, when i decide to make a remark or two back. As for making the world go around, all opinionated people help in that.

As for male cheerleaders being gay, I know that two on our university squad are, but I don't know about all of them, there are six, so i do disagree with the 99% of them being gay. i wouldn't know where someone came up with those statistics.

Summer between junior and senior year in college I was back home in Las Vegas and dated a male UNLV cheerleader. He was definitely not gay, nor were the teammates of his I met.

Hold up Damasa, before you get ugly with me,my post was not directed to you or was even about you, I just wanted to drop my two cents, and will always drop my two cents , whether you agree with me or not.
What ever problems you have with others on this board take them up with those people. Now before you try to tell me what I was saying in my post , Let me just explain my statement(not like I really have too!) First off, I was saying to what some other people had said about opinionated females. Yes, many people don't like opinionated people, especially females, because we're "supposed" to play the submissive role, but not every female is like that or buys into that crap. Now just because your opinionated, that doesn't give you the right to be rude , but thats a different story then just being opionionated!
As for the rest of what you said in your post, whatever,not even something I care to waste space on.
Now back to the real subject at hand, who honestly cares if they are gay or not. Is it such a big deal! To generalize and say, oh they must be gay cause they are cheerleaders is not only immature but just plain ignorant.
I say represent either way, GO TEAM GO!

I have met many of the male cheerleaders from my school because many of them happen to be in fraternities. These guys are awesome, good looking, and definitely NOT gay!

Blah blah blah yakkity smack what the hell ever give a dog a bone.

Did someone say the "peTurbed" was American for the Canadians are gonna win all the medals at salt lake? Did I read that right? Is there somekind of sublimnal bullshit in there?

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited to remove my distasteful joke. I was hungover this morning and not using my head. Sorry.

You know, it IS the stereotype: male cheerleaders being gay.

Cheerleading is perceived as a primarily women's sport even though it was started by men. Hey, I read cheer magazine lol.

One thing that might peretuate the stereotype is that we are told in no uncertain terms that we can't date our team mates. attitude can really affect a stunt. I remember having a problem with a flyer once, we couldn't even get chairs anymore. Thats a really simple stunt where the girl ends up sitting on your hand over your head.

I have thrown up 90 pound girls that have attitudes that are harder to toss than girls 20 pounds heavier. Ever try to lift a child that really doesn't want to be lifted? ITs similar.

Also, the girls sually hang with the girls and the guys generally hang together also . . . so it would help if there were a lot more organized social events.

We had this conversation last night for some odd reason. Oh, because a former U. South Carolina cheerleader was on Playmate fear factor. I do not belive, nor did the guys I was with, that the majority of cheerleaders are gay. They are ripped, hot, and get to look up girls skirts (the guys view, not mine please don't think that I want to do that!). So, from most perceptions and the few that I've met, I have to say this stat is wrong. And, as someone else said, why would it matter?

What, Male Cheer Leaders Gay?

That is insane!

Who would want to play Foot Ball When all you see are neked Guys who smell bad!

I would much rather Throw a Girl in the Air and look up her skirt!

Hell these Guys are probably built better than the Jocks that they cheer for!

They also do not get their asses kicked out on the field!

Some male cheerleaders might be gay, but not all of them. My dad would probably laugh at you if he heard you say that, because he was one of the first two male cheerleaders at Morehead State U., and he's definitely not gay!

For the record, male cheerleaders (or male ballet dancers, etc.) aren't pansies, either. They've gotta be in pretty good physical shape to do what they do! They sure have my respect.

This has got to be the weirdest topic that I have ever read. I had to jump on the band wagon.

I am a male cheerleader. I started cheering my sophomore year in high school, and have been doing it since for 2 state universities. I would say it is a stereotype, but an unrealistic one. You might as well say, "All men are gay."

My point is, it is probably about the same percentage of male cheerleaders that are gay as the general male population, say 10%, for instance. It might even be a little bit higher, but not much. What got me hooked on cheering was stunting, and the fact that I could tumble definitely helped out.

As it is, I double full, do standing fulls, toss full up stunts, and I'm also the middle layer in pyramids. I'm a male cheerleader, I'm heterosexual, and the only real rule we have is no dating the girls on our team.

Half of the guys on our team are members of my fraternity, including my big brother, and surprise, none of us are gay.

I just got on here and read this so I thought I would reply... I can't believe anyone would actually think that all male cheerleaders are gay! Hello no they are not.. Believe it or not being a male cheerleader or cheerleader in general is much harder work that being say on the football team or baseball team. Come on now. My best friend is a cheerleader and has been for 3 years. He is great at it and is not gay he actually has a girlfriend who he has been with for about 3 years also. I dont think just becuase guys are cheerleaders they are gay. I am sure there are some but they should not be sterotyped...
