The 21 Out Olympians Are 18 Women and 3 Men

Yay, lesbians! Of the 21 openly queer Olympians, the eighteen women are mainly Europeans, with an Australian beach volleyball player and two from the US: basketball player Selmone Augustus and tennis player Lisa Raymond. Two of the French triathletes are a couple, Carole Péon and Jessica Harrison [below]. But, uh... fellas? Only blond boys? Returning gold medalist diver Matthew Mitcham, and two horsey dudes, the UK's Carl Hester and the Dutch Edward Gal.

Outsports offers a guide of 103 out Olympians since 1928's Otto Peltzer.

Wow! They are all so good looking. (No surprise.) I love the photo of the two women.
