^^ This reminds me of the time I met Graeme Obree. I asked him (given that there's never been any out gay men in the pro peloton) if he was nervous about joining it and becoming a gay world tour level cyclist, with a Hobson's choice of coming out and being first or being closeted.
He told me he never worried about that, he lived on a council estate in Glasgow and was more worried about someone kicking his front door in or beating him up because he was gay.
