Gay Olympians Standing Strong and Proud
By Jamie Leno Zimron–
Two gay American athletes, figure skater Adam Rippon and freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, made heroic headlines even before the 2018 Olympic Winter Games began. They both refused to meet with Vice President Mike Pence, chosen by Donald Trump to be the official public figure of the U.S. delegation in Pyeongchang, South Korea, or to attend any post-Olympics celebrations traditionally hosted by the White House. Adam Rippon, standing bold and proud, told the press: “I would absolutely not go out of my way to meet somebody who I felt has gone out of their way to not only reveal that they aren’t a friend of a gay person but that they think that they’re sick.”
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kenworthy questioned what he called the strange choice of Pence to lead the Americans, and then via Reuters said, “I am very proud to illustrate the U.S. but I don’t remain by Trump and his cabinet … I do not want to feign approval for policies that are in place and things that are creature pushed at the moment.”
During the Games, Adam’s skating has been sequined and spectacular. He hasn’t held back an iota of h

Clinton 'excited' that Adam Rippon, Gus Kenworthy are 1st openly gay US Winter Olympians
— -- Hillary Clinton is going all "fangirl" over the Winter Olympics.
"I'm going to observe as much as I can see," the former Secretary of State told attendees at the Makers conference in Los Angeles, via satellite from Fresh York City. "I love the Winter Olympics. I devote the athleticism and the stories of our athletes."
And it's the stories of two athletes, in particular, that has the former Democratic presidential candidate psyched for the games, which officially thrust off Friday in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
"I'm excited that Adam Rippon and Gus Kenworthy will be the first openly gay Olympians for the American team," Clinton, a frequent guest and participant at LGBT-related events, said to a roar of applause.
Rippon, 28, is a U.S. Olympic figure skater, and Kenworthy, 26, is a U.S. skier. Although there have been other LGBT athletes on the U.S. Olympic team in the past -- figure skater Johnny Weir, for example -- none were publicly out during the games; they came out afterwards. As for the summer Olympics, the last ope
'About time': Gay athletes unleash rainbow wave on Olympics
TOKYO (AP) — When Olympic diver Tom Daley announced in 2013 that he was dating a guy and “couldn't be happier,” his coming out was an act of courage that, with its rarity, also exposed how the top echelons of sport weren't seen as a safe space by the vast majority of LGBTQ athletes.
Back then, the number of gay Olympians who felt able and willing to speak openly about their private lives could be counted on a few hands. There'd been just two dozen openly gay Olympians among the more than 10,000 who competed at the 2012 London Games, a reflection of how unrepresentative and anachronistic top-tier sports were just a decade ago and, to a immense extent, still are.
Still, at the Tokyo Games, the picture is changing.
A wave of rainbow-colored parade, openness and acceptance is sweeping through Olympic pools, skateparks, halls and fields, with a record number of openly gay competitors in Tokyo. Whereas LGBTQ invisibility used to produce Olympic sports seem out of step with the times, Tokyo is shaping up as a watershed for the community and for the Games — now, finally, starting to better reflect human diversity.
