Out of Bounds

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

Also this week: Jack Fletcher's gay slur on the pitch and whether professional football is still the most homophobic space in elite sport. Hillary Knight becomes the first out LGBTQ+ athlete to appear on SNL. The Atlantic's "In Defense of Effeminate Boys" gets the discussion it deserves? Kink of the Week is tickling. And your real, unfiltered responses to LGBTQ&A: what are we gays actually missing out on?

Is there really a Gay Tech Mafia running Silicon Valley, and does it matter? Jake Williamson and Sam Leicht dig into WIRED Magazine's viral exposé on queer power networks (Inside the Gay Tech Mafia), unpack HBO's Heated Rivalry and what it actually moves the needle on for LGBTQ+ representation in sport, and winning silver for Eileen Gu and Bruce Mouat and more on queer visibility in elite competition.

Also this week: BDSM, desire, and what actually turns us off in Kink of the Week. Plus alcohol and drug pressure in queer spaces, PrideFit updates, and CrossFit Open 2026.

Sam and Jake catch up after a month apart — Jake fresh off a podium finish in Hamburg and a ticket to the Elite 15 Hyrox World Championships, Sam back from Boston with injury stories and a new appreciation for doubles racing. The boys break down Hyrox travel costs, injury management, back pain fixes, and what it takes to be world-class in a pay-to-play sport.

Then it’s full Out of Bounds chaos: queer travel talk in South Africa, gay rodeos, the Pentagon’s wild take on Netflix’s “Boots”, and an unhinged GQ article about “nutmaxxing.” They close the season with a deep dive into wedgies, sounding, and kink culture, exploring where curiosity meets consent — plus Sam’s reflection on fetish ethics and Jake’s confession that he might ask Paul for a wedgie later.

It’s part education, part overshare, and 100% Out of Bounds.

CW: Sexual content, kink discussion, brief mentions of apartheid and systemic discrimination.
