World Champ Skier: Im Gay
On Thursday Olympic silver medalist Gus Kenworthy posted a tweet with three simple words: “I am gay”. “Coming out in the post-Michael Sam world”. “I literally would sleep with a girl and then cry about it afterward”.
So they were battling each other. “I guess I should start by saying, “I’m gay, ‘” Kenworthy tells ESPN”. I constantly felt anxious, depressed and even suicidal. Between the contests and the shoots, everyone’s always skiing and training together.
He hadn’t told his parents, or his brothers. If they knew he was gay, would these kids idolize him as much? Maybe you’ve suspected that truth about me all along, or maybe it comes as a complete shock to you. The industry isn’t the most embracing of someone who’s different. Miley Cyrus, Kenworthy lied.
“I think about the pain I put myself through by closeting myself for so long and it breaks my heart”, the star athlete shared.
According to Alyssa Roenigk of ESPN The Magazine, he has known he was gay since he was five years old.
“You’re constantly lying and constantly feeling like you’re being deceitful”, he said in a video on ESPN’s site. He also tells ESPN that the 2015 X Games will be like a whole new event for him.
