Two articles this week about the enormous glass closet that is men's figure skating.
Buzzfeed's Blair Braverman asks Why Is the World's Gayest Sport Stuck in the Closet? After reading it, you'll think even less of lads like Jeremy Abbott, the closeted skater who compared Putin's antigay terror state to bad decorating, and their unsympathetic handlers, managers, coaches, and judges.
Newsweek's Abigail Jones writes this cover story, Hate on Ice: The Surprising Truth Behind the Olympics' Gayest Sport.
It's not pretty.
Tomorrow, a look at six openly gay athletes at the games.
Wow. The Newsweek article is killer. No one has ever put all this rumor, news and glitter together in so coherent a way. Thanks.
