Surfers gay

The band did not begin as the Butthole Surfers, although they did have a anthem of that title, possibly an first version of &#;s "Butthole Surfer". This changed at their first paid concert, when an announcer forgot what the band was called and used the song title for the group?s identify. They decided to keep the moniker, and have largely been billed as such ever since.[74] Prior to that, the Surfers performed under a unlike name at every live show. Premature aliases included the Dick Clark Five, Nine Foot Worm Makes Own Sustenance, the Vodka Family Winstons, and many others.[75]

The call has long been a source of trouble for the band. Many clubs, newspapers, radio, and TV stations oppose to print or mention their packed name, and instead opted to employ "B.H. Surfers", or other abbreviations.[76] The term "butthole surfer" is a unrefined reference to a male homosexual; as described in the lyrics of the song "Butthole Surfer".

However, the designation "butthole surfer" may also refer to a common San Antonio-area activity of tubing (recreation) on the G

Gay Surfers: Out in the Lineup

Exploring a topic that is as taboo in surfing as it is in most sports &#;Out in the Line-up&#; takes viewers for a journey along a personal journey of discovery which culminates in an epic surf trip and messages of hope and transformation.

“OUT in the Line-up” follows David Wakefield and Thomas Castets from Byron Bay to Hawaii, California, Mexico and the Galapagos Islands as they meet and surf with people from all corners of the surfing community: from an openly gay three-time nature champion, an award winning big wave rider, and former US Congressman to everyday surfers, gay and straight. Throughout their travels David and Thomas perceive stories of fear, isolation and self-doubt, but are also inspired by tales of hope, self-empowerment and transformation. As their journey unfolds, David and Thomas hope to create switch in surf culture, looking to the surfing’s grassroots values of freedom of spirit, open-mindedness and passion for the ocean.

I’m at a place in my life right now that would have made me panic just a couple of years ago. Shit, if someone even mentioned the word ‘’gay’’ around me, I would go red in the face and start to sweat. I don’t understand how I got here, but I’m very content that I did.

So I want to tell you something. Something that’s a little part of me. Something that you might not agree with and might think &#;what does this even have to do with surfing?&#; The truth is, it probably has nothing to execute with surfing. But I do know my teenage years would have been a lot easier if I could read about a pro surfer who also battled the same demons I struggled with. That alone might have softened the burst. Maybe if I&#;d been able to see just how gay people are accepted in the surf community, I wouldn’t own grown up to be the nervous wreck that I am today. I know these things would have made a huge difference to me as a kid, and I believe it can make a difference to the thousands out there today facing the identical inner struggles.

Would it bother you?

I think my mate Rob could be queer , he looks at me hilarious when I get my wettie on, and keeps paddling up behind me when I'm duck diving.

Spending time alone together on out of the way beaches, sharing a tent, stuff like that could become quite difficult. I'm not sure if I should say something to him.

He's not the top looking bloke (bit overweight and hairy), has a few personal hygeine issues, and I'm not into that sort of stuff anyway.

What should I do?
