Rollerblade gay

There was a singular theme that ran through the mockery: rollerblading is completely gay, and bladers are total fags. “It was an easy target for comedy and we used it a lot,” says Carnie.

In the past couple of years, new roller skating clubs have popped up in cities all over the world, many of them are queer and inclusive.
