I'm glad this article is not an April Fool
thing like I thought it was.

My real last name is pronounced, "clue-sar-its" and thanks for the kind words and support.

Chris

Welcome to Outsports!

I hope you enjoy it here as much as we do.

Best Wishes

I have a new blog and some new pics up on my MySpace account at www.myspace.com/chriskanyon. Reading the comments under the blog from the wrestling fans can be pretty interesting. Hope you all enjoy.

Chris, I just read the story about you featured on OutSports (my computer was being repaired for five weeks). The part that intrigued me was the fact that you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I want to commend you for your courage on facing this illness. I, too, have been diagnosed with mood and personality disorders, and am starting to move forward with my life. I was accepted into Temple University's Journalism Program for next fall, and am holding down a part-time job...it's lasted two weeks, which has been my longest stretch of employment since 2003.

Question...some of your earlier posts seemed frantic. If you don't mind my asking, were you manic when posting those messages? I ask because I have done the same thing. The difference between your previous messages and the ones now is much improved. There's more clarity and coherence with the current ones, so your work is paying off. If you ever want to talk (lame excuse for me to talk to you some more ), and maybe you can tell me how you managed to overcome the challenge. It would provide inspiration for myself and others who face mental illness. Let me know...thanks.

Former WWE US Champion, Orlando Jordan is openly Bisexual. He was released a few months ago for having an unauthorized person at backstage events despite repeated warnings...this person was in fact the guy he was seeing.

He was not released for being gay...as a matter of fact, they were ready to "out" him on national TV with a "bi" storyline where his real life boyfriend would come on the air while Orlando was with an on-screen girlfriend.

Your courage is amazing and story compelling. The more oncversations that are created at the high levels of sport the greater the trickle down effect on all of society will happen.

Chris Kanyon is dead of an apparent suicide.

A former, openly gay wrestler commits suicide and now there is a story about a bisexual wrestler in TNA.
Is this really supposed to make anyone embrace their sexual orientation?! These kind of stories make us seem even more desperate for acceptance.
I guess these would be considered baby steps in the right direction but it still seems like we are not getting anywhere!
