JamesMemberI do not have the answer to that question from experience, but I can point you to a reference material that will help. There is a magazine called ‘XY’ that is geared toward the younger gay and lesbian population. A recent issue (no. 19, I believe) dealt with sports and the issues of coming out. The reactions and feedback to this article were nothing short of positive, from gay people of all ages and all walks of life. I have friends who were involved in athletics who later in life ‘came out’ to their friends, family and teammates. Reactions were split, and many of the negative emotions with ‘coming out’ came from their family members, not their teammates.

JamesMemberI originally went to school for Fine Arts in New York, where we would all sit around in groups and discuss the definition of art and its value. First, art is communication in expressive forms. If something communicates to you through one of your five senses, it is art. Even when you don’t like it. Now, whether the art created has any validity is another issue. That is what you go to school to study. Anyone can grab a brush and start to paint a canvas. But it is the talents of a person that make the canvas become art. When you see a trash bag full of newspapers, you see a trash bag in the corner. To someone else, the trash bag can have sculptural qualities, or the newspapers crumpled in the bag can have symbolic meaning. Consider the time period which the artistic item occupies, and then focus on the art in relation to its history. Art has constantly been created as a reaction to the life and time of that historical period. If you want to validate the trash bag as art, you can do it using these means. Or you can just call the trash bag a trash bag.
