Welcome to Season 2 of Out of Bounds, the podcast at the intersection of gay culture, sport, fitness, and where we sport unfiltered conversation.

This week Jake and Sam sit down with Olympic silver medalist and Great Britain curling skip Bruce Mouat for an honest conversation about coming out, what it unlocked in his sporting career, and what life looks like in the weeks after Milan Cortina 2026.

Plus:

• Jack Fletcher's gay slur on the pitch — is professional football still failing its gay athletes?
• Hillary Knight becomes the first out LGBTQ+ athlete to appear on SNL
• The Atlantic's "In Defense of Effeminate Boys" — thoughtful or faintly anti-trans?
• Kink of the Week: Tickling
• LGBTQ&A: What are gay men actually missing out on? Your responses got real

Does coming out really change everything — on and off the field? And is professional football still the most homophobic space in elite sport?
