Your videos and interviews inspired courage in me to take my final steps out of the closet and to fully accept my Pride. Thank you Gus!!

Not to take anything away from Gus, but the “title” for the first openly gay winter olympian is at least a tie with Adam Rippon the figure skater. Gus came out a few weeks before Rippon in 2015, but Rippon qualified first for the 2018 Winter Games. So technically it`s Adam Rippon. I wish them both luck.

@K3r0411
@K3r0411 6 лет назад
U.N. Owen This is about being the first “openly gay Winter Olympian”. Gus was not out in 2014, so it does not count here. There have been a number of gay Olympians throughout the years, who were not out during their active years. Jonny Weir, figure skater, comes to mind in more recent history. (2006/2010). BTW, if you make the team and show up you are an Olympian whether you medal or not.
@benbailey159bb

I'm confusion is this defined by the fact that he competed in Sochi where as Adam Rippon didn't, bc that doesn't make a whole lot of sense other Olympians could have still yet to come out and may still have an olympic career in the years to come if they say competed in Vancouver and are going to again in 2022 will said person take Gus's title as first openly gay winter Olympian

@tylerl4768
@tylerl4768 4 года назад
I’m pretty sure they technically share the title as first openly gay Americans to compete in winter Olympic Games but the title for Adam that’s used is the first openly gay athlete in the Winter Olympics because he was officially on the USA Olympic team before Gus Kenworthy qualifies and Gus has been given the title of first openly gay athlete in action sports in the Winter Olympics so technically neither of them own the firs openly gay winter Olympian title
@tylerl4768

@archraskal
@archraskal 6 лет назад
Pootin It's not an "announcement" but an acknowledgment. He's a public figure. There are still consequences in most societies for being gay in terms of negative treatment in laws, and reactions to it. People need to realize that gay people are among them in all areas of their lives. From that it leads to the eventual end of oppression.

Ben Bailey Maybe the first AMERICAN to be openly gay. There are many openly gay/bisexual Olympians in the dutch team (and other teams). Its no big deal if you are gay in our team/country. Hell Ireen Wust is bisexual and she is officially the best speed skater with 5 gold metals. Its a good thing to be openly gay cause not only is he a rollmodel to others but the more people come out the more normal it will be and that will change opinions about it. It is no big deal to be gay. But he isn't the first openly gay Olympian...not by a long shot.

@reconditered9055
@reconditered9055 6 лет назад
I understand what you are saying. His sexual orientation shouldn't matter and in a perfect world, it wouldn't even be a story. However, since we live in a world where people are ignorant to the issues that homosexuals face, and use their ignorance to justify their intolerance and hatred of homosexuals, Gus Kenworthy isn't just Gus Kenworthy; he will always represent the LGBT community too, until we reach a point in society when someone revealing their non-straight sexual orientation is not newsworthy.
@drewber565
@drewber565 6 лет назад
It matters because he is pushing this shit on everyone else. He's in an ad in which he holds the homosexual rainbow flag. That means his homosexuality comes before his love of country. Disgusting and sad.
@Nambazi
@Nambazi 6 лет назад
D the rainbow flag stands for unity and equality, it may be used by a community that loves the same gender but displaying the rainbow flag is just like displaying ones flag for ones country. One can display both. No one has that hold or power to tell someone what to do or not do. On February 2 he will be skiing in red white and blue not some rainbow ski uniform but so what if he wants to hold an American flag and an lgbt flag. Support him as an athlete and a community member.

Dropping the f bomb when you are making a video that many young people who look up to you are watching only normalizes that kind of language, even more than it already is.

I feel genuinely very sorry for people like you and Adam Rippon, who consider yourselves to be right, when you are completely wrong. When you eventually are confronted and forced to accept that reality, it will most possibly be too late - too sad. Mr Pence on the other hand, made the correct choice and therefore happens to project the correct image of what the US should stand for, that is, acknowledge and accept that Jesus Christ is the Lord.
