GAY 2006 OLYMPIC BIATHLETE EXPLAS WHY THE FN OF "OUT" HAS CHANGED

But the mental energy I spent thkg about whether or not I was gay, the distractn of watchg refully everythg that I said, that limed my abili and hampered my relatnships wh teammat. I thk the fear many athlet have is that the public nversatn will revolve more around their sexualy than their athletic performanc … ’s certaly the perceptn I had when I was petg … I didn’t want to be known as the gay biathlete. Olsen: There’s an important distctn peculiar to gay athlet petg Olympic sports that I realize I didn't fully expla earlier: our sports are really, really Olympic sports, you spend months at a time surround every hour of the day by people sport … athlet, ach, officials, and so forth.

ANOTHER GAY MOVIE

This is a lot like small towns where gays stggle wh the ictn between not havg anyone to date, but feelg eply rooted the iends, fay and liftyle unique to ral plac. I n’t say whether the Olympics are more homophobic than the NFL —I’ve never played , but I n say that the size, geography, and fancial stcture of our sports prent some unique issu for Olympic athlet tryg to figure thgs Is homophobia one of those issu Olympic sport? Olsen: My pot is that there might actually be a lack of gay athlet at the ele level … and that’s simply bee we get worn down by jugglg our passn for sport and a growg need to figure out who we are.

Wh a lack of gay athlet, out or not, that leads to assumptns that all athlet are straight, and turn people don’t feel a rponsibily to watch what they say and do.

ANOTHER GAY MOVIE (2006)

I didn’t want to be 30 years old and still wrtlg wh the issue, even if I were to improve my rults on the World ’s nothg herently homophobic sport, om my experience. While the on is on the gay athlete to go through the procs of g out, is the rponsibily of ach, sports officials, and even teammat to ensure that the environment their sports is not directly or overtly homophobic.

It’s about tolerance for not jt sexualy, but also relign, race, polil views, enomic background, and anythg else that differentiat people om one stori I hear about a gay athlete g out rult the team apologizg for thgs they said or did, which sudnly now wh an out gay teammate they realize were potentially offensive. That mak the whole team more effective, and ’s jt the right thg to Did you know of any other gay biathlet or other gay Olympians?

Olsen: I don’t want to fuel any speculatn or cursy, but ’s not Much has been ma of Rsia’s anti-gay propaganda law. You’re a lot closer to the impact of all this than the average Amerin gay guy who’s maybe clared on Facebook that he’s boyttg watchg the Gam or isn’t drkg Stoli vodka for a few weeks.

So this sense, I don’t feel that the IOC is beg homophobic by banng physil displays on the podium or athlete uniforms of anythg that would directly or overtly ph for gay rights. But then I began hearg about a recent mpaign askg the public to ph Olympians here Sochi to specifilly support gay rights, whether their prs nferenc or on their uniforms. So at least that way, some gay rights groups have validated the IOC’s argument for banng anythg remotely polil.

In the end, their prsure ultimately kills the abily of proactive athlet to speak out on their own The IOC has been cricized for not speakg up enough support of gay athlet and for not nmng Rsia’s anti-gay laws more forcefully. And durg a game, everythg and everyone a stadium is foced on the sport, rather than the differenc we all have wh one goal should be ls foced on troducg gay rights or other issu to sport and more about elimatg barriers. Gay rights were certaly not improvg Rsia at the time; the issu were not on many people’s mds when the host ci were discsed.

My pot is that even whout any direct gay rights symbols the Olympic venu, the Olympics have helped progrs this issue.

Olsen: My predictn is as good as yours, but my hope is that we get to the pot over the next few years where athlet don’t have to "e out, " per se, if they’re gay … bee ’s bee a plete non-issue.
