What do Rosie O’Donnell’s brother, John McCain, GLAAD, and submission holds have in common? Surprisingly, it’s the UFC. We talk about the explicitly gay parts (like the engaged lesbian UFC fighter couple), the homoerotic parts (which inspired our game of “MMA move or sex act”), and the straight parts (like how there are no out gay male UFC fighters), and we confront the serious question: is it okay to joke about how homoerotic the UFC is?
