I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body. Just not one of those lesbians that likes the fat ugly bull-dykes. Halfback.</p></blockquote>I'd seen you'd just posted in here, and couldn't click in quick enough to see what you'd come up with.<br><br>
It's not a bad effort, but I think I was expecting something far more fiery from you. -

If you believe some of the rumours, and the story from a former TVNZ presenter we've already had gay ABs.</p></blockquote>
There's been gay All Blacks beyond any shadow of a doubt. It's inconceivable to me that we haven't. -

<p>Statistically yes. I haven't followed this subject for years, but most academic research seemed to conclude that anywhere between 1-10% of the population is gay, and the studies that place the "gay population" at the high end of this range included people as "gay" where they had "gay thoughts" even once in their life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So if we've had 1,100 - 1,200 All Blacks, then 1-10% of that is 11-120 gay All Blacks.</p> -

<p>I suspect there's some pretty significant filters and there would be significantly less gay ABs than average in the same way as I suspect there might be more gay blokes than average working in theatre. </p> -

<p>I dunno, are there not a pretty proportionate number of gay men in the military? (Someone please fact-check this.)</p> -

<p>Movies would lead me to believe there's a lot of pillow biters in prison too.</p> -
<p>My mate told me he met a gay carpenter once - he always left a saw behind.</p>

<p>Yes, exactly. So the "first gay All Black" might have been or he might still be a person into the future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The gay inclusive policy thing is hardly likely to boost playing strength and, as I have said before, is borne out of societal expectations and for the good of the grass roots.</p>
