Is rugby gay friendly? In the first episode of the Gay Rugby Podcast, we get into what it’s really like to be part of an inclusive rugby team. I went from a total novice to playing with the Los Angeles Rebellion Rugby club, and it completely changed my perspective. If you’ve ever wondered how to join a gay rugby team or searched for gay rugby near me, this episode has answers.We’re breaking down the culture of LGBTQ rugby, the camaraderie, and why so many gay rugby players find a home in the sport. We’ll talk about Rebellion Rugby, the Bingham Cup, and what makes these teams more than just a place to play. Plus, we tackle the big questions: what is gay rugby, why gay rugby, and can straight guys play rugby? Spoiler—rugby is for everyone.
