UPDATED: 48 Out Athletes of the Rio Olympics

The games haven't started yet, but the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero are already controversial: from political upheaval to the Zika virus to feces in the river, it seems these games will go any way but smoothly. Before we depress you with all that is going wrong, let's focus on some good news: These games are chock-full of openly LGBT athletes, and could be the most diverse Olympics yet. Here are the 48 queer men and women of Rio who are doing us proud. Get the gold, gays! FYI: Opening ceremonies kick off August 5.
