The homophobia of wrestling 'culture' is literally lethal to [openly] homosexual people


There is almost certainly a significant subset of gay and bi wrestlers who put up with this shit for various reasons, the percentages probably aren't all that different from the general population
That's not necessarily good reasoning - it's a fairly well-established possible fact that homophobic regions (e.g. everywhere rural) have less gay people as a percentage of the population than more tolerant areas. That's way gay districts/neighborhoods/ghettos exist.

It's quite possible, even likely, that non-straight athletes - closeted or otherwise - don't pursue professional careers because the perceived homophobia in sports. It's certainly a fact that some don't.
