Homophobia in Sailing?

   Apols - not sure where else to post.

Listening to 5Live on the way to work early this morning. Not paying too much attention to an item on homophobia in football when the presenter reeled off a list of half a dozen other sports where it's perceived to be a problem - and sailing came up as one of them!

In my approaching 50 yrs in the sport, I've never come across it in any way, shape or form. Has anyone any experience of that? It may be there as in any walk of life but certainly not as overt as it is in football in my experience.
