That's right. Gay Outdoors named our very own columnist Terrance Griep eighth in its list of The Nine Toughest Gay Guys In America. (We are sure they were listed in no particular order.)

What makes a tough gay guy, asked writer Mike Boisvert. "How about perseverance, fearlessness, a high threshold for pain?"

That would explain Griep's inclusion on the list (the man is, after all, the first out professional wrassler), as well as former Minnesota Viking Esera Tualo. Massachusetts' congressman Barney Frank probably experiences a different kind of pain than Tualo or Griep. And then there's Richard Hatch, whose sartorial fearlessness Boisvert could not help but notice.
