Here is a great article from Sandra Gonzalez with The Monitor that talks about a young mans fight against the stereo types of being a male cheerleader.
It’s a cruel double standard Edson Juarez has dealt with every day since he joined cheerleading.
Immediately, the guys he once hung out with started giving him the cold shoulder. On his way to class through the halls of Lincoln Middle School, he became a target. His classmates’ weapons were only words, but they cut deep and left wounds that haven’t completely healed, even five years later.
Even his father did not support him when he started. Â It was so bad that he eventually quit and went into other sports.Â
During his freshman year, he even took a place on the field instead of on the sidelines as a junior varsity football player.

He did eventually get a second chance at cheerleading. Â To find out what happened read the full article
