At least 144 out LGBTQ athletes will be heading to Paris for the 2024 Summer Games, with a record number of out male Olympians participating, according to the LGBTQ sports site OutSports.
In the last Summer Olympics, held in Tokyo in 2021, there were at least 186 out competitors, but the list originally started at 121, according to OutSports co-founder Cyd Zeigler, who said the number increased as the sports news site became aware of additional publicly out athletes.
This year, at least 18 male athletes participating in the summer Olympics are publicly out. Zeigler said equestrian, an Olympic sport with eight LGBTQ men participating, has “long been a leader in this space of out men.”
The vast majority of athletes on the list of queer Olympians, more than 120, are women. Lesbians and other queer women represent at least half of two teams: the U.S. women’s basketball team, where six of the 12 players are out, and the Australian women’s soccer team, where at least nine of the 18 players are out.
Women’s soccer, across all participating countries, is the queerest sport at the Olympics this year. Brazil’s team has eight out athletes this year, while Australia’s roster has nine — which Zeigler said “might be the most LGBTQ people we’ve ever seen on an Olympic team.”

What is an Olympics?
I won’t be watching so it’s irrelevant to me!!
This approach should finish the Olympics. I still think there are just too many normal people.
Me too.
The synchronized swimming team should be great! Remember wrestlers you must stop at the whistle!
This is an obsession.
Wondering how many of the men are experts at “Pole” Vaulting. . .
Reason # 27 I won’t be watching.
I’m not so sure about the T.
I thought those claiming to be women with male plumbing would not be allowed to compete.
The West has become a sad joke, senile Joe’s America is the laughing stock of the world.

The Olympics will show the unfairness of having men compete in women’s events. The whole world will see this and there will be a backlash.
“Queer”
An invented word to give losers power over others by riding on the coat tails of dykes and fags with the grannies sitting right next to them.
I didn’t know they had male figure skating in the Summer Olympics.
That’s just the ones they know about.
Appropriately, 1 gross.
Article didn’t mention any fake women athletes. So, there are no TransAthletes in Olympics this year?
John 8:7 NIV - When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
