SO, THEY'RE ALL GAY, RIGHT?
Evgeni Plhenko, sger Dima Bilan, and vlist Edv Marton at the 2008 Eurovisn – by Daniel Aragay – Wikimedia Commons. The average Amerin sports fan, watchg the Olympic men's figure skatg petn, probably figured that most of the nttants were gay. None of the skaters this year's Olympics -- for all the sequs, all the glter, all the stereotypilly gay mannerisms and speech patterns -- is publicly gay.
In fact, only one ternatnal-level figure skater has ever openly clared himself a gay man -- Rudy Galdo, the 1996 U. He spoke wh Salon by telephone om her home about gays skatg, the Salt Lake Olympics and the strange world of figure skatg judg. You were the first actively petg figure skater who was out as beg gay.
I thought maybe they'll jt feel fortable and say they were gay, too, or whatever. And maybe they didn't want the judg to thk they're gay, so they won't give them the marks.
