I’ve been watching the Olympics and it seems the hottest guy so far is definitely J.R. Celski, age 19 (American speed skater, but Filipino by heritage). Apolo Ohno, age 27 is kinda cute, too. It’s really cool that this is the first year in which gay and lesbian Olympians have a place to socialize, just for them. Pride House Vancouver is offering their location to Olympians for the Winter Games. It’s really cool because there are more and more Olympians coming out as gay or lesbian, some of whom play in the Gay Games. Wiki has a list of GLBT sports professionals who are out. I think it’s important especially for gay and lesbian youth to know about this in order that they might have good role models to identify with. I know such individuals were very important to me when I came out back in middle school at age 14. I don’t know about Celski’s and Ohno’s orientations, but they both look really hot in recent photos! Matthew Mitcham, age 20, Olympic diver who won the gold in the Beijing diving competition, is openly gay.
