This brought back memories.
I too was a male cheerleader. It paid my way through college at the University of Florida. While in high school, I was a state champion swimmer my sophomore year through senior year, and yet, I didn't qualify for scholarship at the University of Florida due to not having Olympic trials times. So in order to fund my schooling, I researched the sports that had less competition scholarship wise and found that cheer leading was in demand at the Universities.
I already had a background in gymnastics and a fondness for the ladies, so it seemed like destiny.
My first year on the squad, I got harassed by the wrestlers all the time by them calling me a faggot, pussy, gay, etc. My retort was a question. How is me spending a lot of time being surrounded by and handling beautiful girls gay? Yet you spend the majority of your time rolling around on the ground with a bunch of sweaty guys in leotards just inches if not directly in contact with their balls? Which sounds more gay?
Long and short, I loved cheerleading, it's enriched my life, and allowed me to be the successful individual I am today.
