I thought this would be a decent place to post and comment on the subject.
I'm more surprised that Berringer felt uncomfortable about coming out until now, He's such a nice person and his sponsors are the most understanding people in BMX, glad he finally felt comfotable enough to open up.

I've always been surprised there isn't more openly gay dudes in bmx. I watched like 6 of his video parts last night. Definitely put in work in his time.

I know a few gay/bi-sexual dudes that ride BMX but not any pro riders, I'm still surprised by how few gay people are in extreme sports, it makes me wonder how many are hiding it in fear they will lose friends and support.
Narcoleptic Insomniac:
It's fucked that people would lose their sponsors if they come out as gay.
JFax:
Heard about this from a gay bmx-friend of mine who met him.
My buddy kept his sexuality hidden for years from the local crew (which is big) until he got a bf and started getting tagged in pics. Noone treated him differently, which was nice.
