In response to being charged with years of homophobia on part of his fighters (and even himself), Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White has called on UFC personalities to come out.
Reports USA Today:
"I'll tell you right now, if there was a gay fighter in UFC, I wish he would come out," UFC President Dana White said Thursday. "I could care less if there's a gay fighter in the UFC. There probably is and there's probably more than one." White was responding to criticisms levied by the Las Vegas chapter of the Culinary Union and other groups who accuse UFC of being an anti-gay organization. In a letter to Anheuser-Busch and an online petition to Fox, the union and its allies cited statements by White and fighters such as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira as proof that UFC has "a history of tolerating homophobic conduct."
Considering the climate White himself has helped stoked, do you think any closeted UFC fighter will take the bait?
