The first two openly gay male U.S. winter Olympians are doubling down on their feud with Vice President Pence over his record on LGBTQ rights.
Freeskier Gus Kenworthy posted a photo on Instagram of himself and figure skater Adam Rippon with a caption that calls out Pence, who is leading the U.S. delegation to the 2018 Olympics, by name. Rippon was named to the U.S. Olympic team first, making history as the first openly gay man to represent the country in the Winter Olympics. Kenworthy was named to the team a few weeks later.

My friends over at Gay Patriot haven’t weighed in on this yet. It’ll be fun when they do. Those fellows take no prisoners.
puffers
Yawn.
What rights do they not have that everyone else has?
How the hell was Brian Boitano not the first openly gay man to represent the US at the Olympics? What about Johnny Weir? Greg Louganis? Was Snagglepuss not “openly” either? Seemd pretty open about it to me!
Just another example of democrats have so divided this country with their identity politics.
Boitano was obvious, but he didn’t talk about it or raise it as an issue.
These bozos should think about “What Would Brian Boitano Do”.
Do your best best and compete well in the events, don’t be such attention hungry drama queens.
Why are these guys still in Korea? Should already have been put on a flight home.
“.I seriously doubt V.P. Pence cares a whit about your sexual preference,...”
And the rest of us do not give a shi...er...Dorkbama about it either.
STFU, get a room, and let the grownups do the talking.
“Just another example of democrats have so divided this country with their identity politics.”
Right on target.
There is no “feud”. To have a feud, two parties must be aggressors.
The homosexuals are the ones attacking Pence. The attackers are the ones who are children.
Well, letting persons with atypical gender manifestation be representative of the “best” for the Olympics is some kind of diversity. When are the criteria to be extended to include persona of libertarian or conservative persuasion?
If these fellows are going to be “best”, then they had better the heck be winning gold medals, No second-best will be tolerated.
I think they were selected due to their performance in their respective sports, not their performance on each other?
Do these fags think they are first queer skaters in tights?
Just remember, certain groups have a right to their opinion. Other groups are not allowed to have an opinion.
People who center their lives on a deviant, un natural sex act, an obsession as it were, can be counted on to rage and to run out of control. Their Values are distorted.
