Making it as a male cheerleader
Twenty-eight pairs of hands clap. Twenty-eight mouths shout in unison. Twenty-eight bodies move rhythmically in perfect formation on the field. Twenty-eight bodies are wearing 28 white t-shirts and 28 dark skirts that peruse "Cheer" in italics. Wait, make that twenty-five skirts.
Lurking in the back row of the formation are three noticeable characters wearing shorts instead of skirts. But looking past the glaring discrepancy in dress code, one notices a bigger difference between back row occupants and the stop of the team: they are male.
In a culture where males are often ridiculed for crossing gender boundaries, three male cheerleaders, senior James Gillette, sophomore Anton Do and sophomore Casey Wallis, are taking a risk at Blair for a variety of reasons. Act wanted to master back-flips, Wallis wanted to stay in shape and Gillette did not speak no when approached.
Gillette, Do and Wallis are not the first male cheerleaders on Blair's squad. According to co-coach Roxanne Fus, boys helped the team place third in the 1995-1996 academy year Montgomery County Cheerleading Competition. Senior James Gillette was also on the team last year, but only par

It was one of the most highly anticipated days for Georgia football in the 2019 season, but Colin Beecham wasn’t nervous. The morning and afternoon foremost up to the game were filled with an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay and later, time at the Dawg Walk. When he and the rest of the squad finally establish foot on Dooley Field, he took his place alongside the rest of the spirit squad and helped the student section cheer on the Bulldogs to a 23-17 victory over Notre Dame.
Beecham, a senior real estate major from Milton, Georgia, is one of 13 men on the University of Georgia’s cheer squad and one of thousands of male cheerleaders across the country.
Male cheerleaders made up 21.5% of all cheerleading participants in 2018, according to a Sports & Fitness Industry Association report. A UCLA study reported that this percentage rises to 50% for collegiate teams.
Cheerleaders have remained an American icon since the sport’s starting in the mid-1800s, according to Allison Wright’s doctoral dissertation at the University of Texas at Austin on the history of cheerleading in the U.S. While the sport began as an all-male activity, the gender balance implore

*Guzzles the rest...opens the next one*
Successfully, practices start and words gets out. I am getting more phone calls from guys who I barely knew having no idea how they got my phone number.
"Saints-Man, is it true you are a cheerleader"
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Well, a cover friend of mine asked me(I considered Leslie a friend too...even though I am doubting that at this point)"
Silence.
"Dude, you are doosh".(and other sundry insults and questions of my manhood)
That was a transcript that was repeated frequently. Oh well. I made a committment and I was gone to stick to it.
So, practice starts. What amazes me at how SERIOUS these people were. It is amatuer hour, because we only have a sponsor and no coach. The girls are putting things together. Close your eyes and imagine this...8 girls, just developing into womanhood, attempting to come up with strategy. Hormones raging, menstrual blood flowing, clique action fully engaged.
It was absolute freaking hell.
But you see...I have a ray of hope. There is cheerleader camp. Yep. Camp with attractive girls and guys and at
