Eventually, they’ll dress in burkhas.

As a woman, I prefer them wearing skirts because skirts flow when they move. It looks much prettier.

Because women have nicer legs than men. Frankly, I’m surprised the gay men haven’t worn tutus.

“A more relevant question is what year will the Olympics allow men to wear skirts and be paired with other men for mixed skating ...

I say 2026 ... 8 years from now ...”

I’ve been pondering the same thing. I think they’re assessing what it will do to the ratings.

There must be something between “dress like a hooker” and “oh, then you might as well wear a burka.”

all olympians should be nude so that color, costume or design of clothing doesn’t effectively influence the judges.

What is the hardest thing a male figure skater has to do? Tell his parents he’s gay.

Convince the world he's not.

Convince the world he's not.

Why would he do THAT?

I'm convinced that the 'world' WANTS more homos, queers and faggots to be displayed to our impressionable youth!

Not to be unkind, but is this one surely a woman?
