* gay johnny skating *

When we wrote 2018 that no publicly out gay man had ever peted the Wter Olympics, one name kept g back to over and over aga: Johnny Weir. To be sure, the 2018 Olympics had the first publicly out gay Wter Olympics athlet to prevly utter the words “I’m gay. Weir officially, publicly uttered the words “I’m gay” his 2011 book, “Wele to my World.

” In the book he talked about feelg prsure om var gay Web s to fally say the words, and that prsure didn’t exactly make him feel like he wanted to be part of the muny (I’m nfint those prsur did not e om Outsports). When I terviewed him for Outsports 2009 support of the documentary film, I asked him pot-blank what he thks when people ask him if he’s gay.

By the 2010 Wter Olympics Vanuver, sports mentators were g homophobic slurs to attack him.
