    This is just plain awesomeness! I can remember how, 20 years ago even, you wouldnt even see any discussion about an Olympian's sexual orientation, nor could I even remember back then if there had been any openly gay or bisexual Olympians! Just goes to show that things are getting a bit better after all. And its even more wonderful to see these athletes compete & represent their countries as it will undoubtedly help to change minds & continue to break down barriers as people realize that a person's sexual orientation & their ability to represent their country or do anything really are mutally exclusive & that said individuals are indeed just like everyone else!

    It is really great to see that more athletes are coming out, but I wish there were more openly gay or lesbian latinamerican athletes though..... I mean, come on! Out of the 104 colombian athletes there must be at least one gay or lesbian....

    Matt is a common sight at the main gay Street in Sydney.

    I speak from personal experience when I say that all the things going on in your imagination about him right now.... they're best left in your head.

    In this case, reality sucks and is very disappointing.
