Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy has shared some intensely homophobic comments on his YouTube videos, making the point that antigay bigotry is alive and well in 2018.
The comments, which he shared in a tweet today, call him "f****t" and "pedo-fag," and wish him death from AIDS, a car accident, or being pushed off a building.
But Kenworthy's getting some major support from commenters on the tweet, who include Chelsea Clinton, out Canadian Olympian Eric Radford, actor-director Peter Paige, and actress Lea Salonga. He's unlikely to get support from another president's daughter, though, given that he dissed Ivanka Trump in a tweet when she showed up at the Winter Olympics closing ceremony.
Kenworthy and figure skater Adam Rippon were the first out gay men to represent the U.S. in the Winter Olympics. Kenworthy failed to win a medal, while Rippon won one, but they both won fans with their outspokenness against Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Kenworthy also made history by kissing his boyfriend, Matt Wilkas, on national television.
