Do gay fighters exist?

[Sin City]

Emile Griffith. Rent his documentary film.



Boxing's not exactly a sport where folks are comfortable coming out of the closet. Griffith was more or less "outed"

In 1992, Griffith was viciously beaten and almost killed on a New York City street, after leaving a gay bar. Today, Griffith requires full time care and suffers from pugilistic dementia. According to Sports Illustrated, the Alzheimer's-like condition makes him confused about his sexuality, and he sometimes declares himself to be heterosexual, other times he identifies as gay and other times, as bisexual, but one that prefers women[citation needed]. Griffith admits that he has had nightmares for forty years about the tragic bout and still feels tremendous guilt over the death of Benny Paret. In the last scene of Ring Of Fire, Griffith was introduced to Benny Paret's son. The son embraced the elderly fighter and told him he was forgiven. However, Paret's widow Lucy could not bring herself to meet him.

See, I had no idea about this guy and some of you want to flame me over it. Some people on these boards are way to quick to judge. I wasn't knocking anyone that was gay just wondering about it. Now I am kind of interested in this guys story.

I bet he had a ring of fire after his boyfriend was done with him!!!

Unfortunate name for a film considering the circumstances, or did they name it that on purpose???

How old are you 12?

June Carter made that song when Johnny Cash was running around wild drinking and doing drugs and hadn't came home for days so she was out looking for him.. It's about the power of love and how you fall so deep into love that no matter what the person your with does you can't just leave or let them go no matter how much you want to. It's a vicious circle.. a love hate relationship.

That's how she felt with Johnny.. He was uncontrollable and gave her soo much trouble yet she still stuck by his side and helped him.
