Thanks everyone so much and I love you all! I hope that my openness allows us as a sport to show the love and acceptance that we have in the disc golf community for other athletes that might struggle to be as open! To me coming out is not something that should be feared or considered abnormal. Therefore I feel like it’s time to come out to you all, and let you know that I am gay. During this time I have grown into an elite player and have met some of the best friends and fans I could have ever asked for! I love everything about this sport from the gamesmanship to the tight community we all know and love!
I’ve been part of this sport for the last 6 years of my life. Thomas Gilbert, a professional disc golfer, had a simple message written above his photo on an Instagram post this weekend: “I’m gay.”
