Openly gay Olympic athlete (Spoiler)
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 04:31 PM by bob_weaver
(Spoiler below) I warned you.






















Australian diver Matthew Mitcham just won the Gold medal in the 10m platform at Beijing - on his last dive. He scored 112.1 to move from 2nd to 1st and take the Gold from the Chinese divers who otherwise swept the diving gold medals in these games. Mitcham is openly gay and a media sensation in his native Australia.

5. "You won the Olympics!"
That's what his friend told him as she hugged him. He was in shock and in tears. How great for him.
