Most of the ignorance surrounding cheer and guys comes from just that, ignorance. That is not being a mean term, ignorant means not knowing or having no knowledge of. I have been married for 20 yrs and when I coached I was always assumed as "gay". Not once did it bother me. Now being an adult is much easier than being a young adult and not worrying. Society is very cruel. The thing I love most about cheering is that you can be the dance your butt off, final pass small guy or the strong full up to heel stretch muscled base. Both are loved and needed. I am ordained and I always go back to this, love your neighbor as you love yourself. So love who you are. I also urge our industry, I believe it was mentioned by the owner of Stingrays a couple years ago too, lets not make it where a guy has to be any certain way, feminine or masculine, let them be who they are and work with that. Don't worry, though its hard, about others. Most of the time you can't change their opinions anyway. Just love em and let you be you.
