UFC flyweight Jeff Molina was forced to come out as bisexual after videos of him engaged in oral sex acts leaked online.
“TLDR: im bi,” Molina wrote. “Not the way I wanted to do this but the chance to do it when I was ready was taken from me. I’ve tried to keep my dating life private from social media.”
Molina opened up about his “suppressed feelings” growing up. His statement means that he is the first male UFC fighter to come out as part of the LGBTQ community.
“I’m a pretty masculine dude and that bro-y banter and sus [sic] sense of humor has always been how I am,” Molina continued. “The thought of my buddies, teammates, and ppl [sic] I look up to looking at me different let alone treating me different for something I can’t control was something I couldn’t fathom. In a sport like this where a majority of the fans being the homophobic c***suckers they are I didn’t see myself doing this during this part of my career. I wanted to be known for my skills and what I’ve dedicated the last 11 years of my life to and not the ‘bi UFC fighter’ that I’m sure would just be translated to ‘gay UFC fighter.'”
