emotional coming-out video, Smith says he used to “hate himself” for his homosexuality, and could never imagine embracing his attraction to men.“It’s been a struggle.
It really has. My whole life I’ve known I was different,” he said. “When I was 12 years old, I was attracted to guys, and I hated myself for being attracted to guys.
It led me to hide who I was.”But Smith is hiding no longer. He’s open about his life on social media, and we are thankful for it.
It’s hard to think of a more masculine activity than CrossFit. And Smith is thriving in that world as an out gay man. That’s pretty cool.A post shared by Alec Smith (@alecsmith8)Recently, Smith shared he was returning to the CrossFit Games, his fourth championship competition.
