WASHINGTON-Three starting quarterbacks in the National
Football League, none identified, are homosexual or bisexual, the
Washington Star said Monday in the first of a four-part series on
gay athletes.
The Star said it conducted interviews with more than 60
athletes, coaches, sports officials, psychologists and members of
the gay community across the nation during the past three
months.
The paper listed among its findings that:
-"So intense is the anti-gay public pressure that many
male athletes who prefer homosexual relationships maintain
fronts as married men with children."
-The percentage of male homosexuals in sports probably
is close to the same five per cent as in society at large.
-Only about 10 per cent of the entire male homosexual
population fits the stereotype of limp-wristed, effinate "queens,"
while many of the remaining90 per cent are virile, masculine-
looking individuals with interests in sports.
-Up to 20 per cent of women athletes, including several
tennis and golf stars, are lesbians, compared to five per cent
in society at large.
-Gay athletes, male and female, feel that public knowledge
of their homosexuality would destroy their playing careers and
eliminate any outside income from endorsements or business.
National Football League officials, contacted in New York,
said they had no comment on the story.
