Elissa Steamer coming out

[deluxxxe]

I'm about halfway through her Thrasher Radio thing, and Phelps just asked her if she was a lesbo.
"No but I am, I have a girlfriend"
"Well, I don't necessarily identify as a lesbian, I identify as bisexual."
So there ya go everyone, you finally got that gay skater you were looking for.

Shocking. Just.............just shocking.

[OopsPoops]

Good for her! BA next??

[Seamus_McShamebag]

Every time an assumed lesbian asserts that she is bisexual....

Who is actually gay in their team? Lacy is right? Is Vanessa Torres gay?


I like how Phelps called Elissa the best she-boarder in the world. Would love to see that on a board.

I think Steve Berra should write a short novel about the difficulties of being gay in such a "macho" industry and how he has formed the berrics as a platform for young skaters to come out on.

Looks to me like the whole god damned team is! Some of them look more masculine than actual male skaters.

I would give this an A+ but really? Being gay isn't a bad thing and by making this joke you're essentially saying it is, because you're using homosexuality as a way to degrade Berra and in the process deeming it 'lame'. Come on man, the skateboard communities made good progress this week. Do you really want Sam Mcguire to wonder "Am I really as lame as Steve Berra?" Stick to making fun of Berra for believing in scientology and being a serial insta-arguer and employing a screwdriver rapist and hanging around in skateboarding like a bad smell etc. etc.

[Fongstarr.]

Just listened to the part where Elissa talks about his girlfriend. Wonder why Phelps didn't really go in on that whole thing. He sort of skimmed by that pretty fast. I mean unless Elissa was getting vibed. I hope if and when BA talks about it, he really talks about it cause it really is a trivial issue and especially in skateboarding.

And here is her chick. I don't follow her but it seems pretty obvious she is. She said happy valentines with that couples photo.

[GAY]

What a cute fucking couple. This photo makes me really happy.

[paraquat]

A girl saying she is bi is not a big story though.

[Kevin Malone]

Old news.

[sfa]

okay, cool.

Now let's move on and talk about how she doesn't have a pro board out!!!

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I took that original comment as a jab that Berra will usurp just about any cause to champion it as his own with no regard to fact or his own personal past. It's not even a comment pro or anti being gay, it's just that Berra is a moocher of causes.

[heckler]

She'd be perfect on 3D.

[TheDraught]

Mark Baines must be a really bad lover.

[yapple dapple]

I wonder how many  sponsors she's  going to

get.

[Wayne Regretzky]

She's "Bisexual". Maybe you are too!

i'd grade it a+,
berra is exactly the type of dude to hop on trends and clarify the berrics as platform which always supported the cause.

elissa is a very cool person! this one should have been longer!

[givecigstosurfgroms]

maybye it didnt translate on video for the skate population (or so it seemed to me) but i met her back in the day and she had it going on  sweet olive skin and a nice bod and shes nice too! (just talked tho, boo!)

Because it's a non issue and nobody's fucking business. If she wants to talk about her personal life cool, but did you really need to play insta sleuth and bring whoever that is to the board?
