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.

Honestly the stories of these US athletes getting political have soured me on them. For the first time in my life, I hope the ones who are trying to be activists lose. Come in fourth so they know they were this close to getting a medal but didn't get it.

Has Pence said even one word about the gay Olympians? He hasn’t that I’ve heard. They are creating a “feud” out of nothing.

According to them, the most important thing about the Olympics, and really about everything in life, is gayness.
Because, gay.

I always thought that that last guy in the four-man bob sled seemed to be in a little too anxious jumping in the sled.

One more aspect of homosexuals: they think all attention is on them.

As an enhancement to athletic performance, it’s very important for spectators to know what you do in private sexual moments.
Or maybe not.

During the entire duration of these Olympic Games, these skaters are, actually, breaking their promise, through an Oath taken during The Opening Ceremony, of putting aside their political differences with Vice President Pence. Some Oath, huh? Besides, If the Vice President feels that he’s being threatened in any way, shape, or form, then these skaters could get a visit from some Secret Service Agents as well as become suspended from competing.

How the hell was Brian Boitano not the first openly gay man to represent the US at the Olympics?Boitano wasn't openly gay when he was competing. He only came out a few years ago.

Why do we let them get by with controlling the narrative? Ask them the question.
