August 2010 “THE FIRST FIFTEEN” UNDERSTANDING THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE OF GAY RUGBY PLAYERS IN AOTEAROA/NEW ZEALAND Roger Gérard Joseph Le Blanc A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago – Te whare Wānanga o Otago Dunedin, New Zealand. March 2004 ii ABSTRACT To date, only three gay male athletes have ever come out publicly during their professional sporting career in team sports. This reflects the pervasiveness of homophobia in sport and its power to silence and render invisible gay athletes. Moreover, it leads to a number of important sociological, political, moral and philosophical questions. Research that seeks to understand the gay athlete’s perspective on the existence of silence and invisibility is made all the more pertinent as gay rights and equality are currently manifested within social institutions other than mainstream sport. In order to fill the void of knowledge regarding the silence and invisibility of gay men within mainstream sport, the questions: “What meanings from their perspective do gay rugby players give to their experience of participating in mainstream rugby?’ and “How do these meanings create barriers or opportunities for their survival in rugby?” directed this social phenomenological study of gay rugby union players in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
