Gus Kenworthy brings politics into the olympics, dissing on Pence.
Mike Pence is very openly anti-LGBT. Why would Gus not say something against him when he has the spotlight on him? More power to Gus to using his platform to say fuck you to a clear bigot
He's been riding the gay agenda hard (no pun intended) since he came out and yea it's definately got him lots of fame. What I'm confused about is why they were saying he's the first openly gay winter Olympic athlete. Which isn't true Johnny weir the figure skater has been flamboyant As fuck. And he's been in a bunch of olympics. What is wrong I beleive though is why is it so popular to talk about what you like to do sexually. Why does it determine so much. Who cares who gus fucks with that said hes getting a little carried away making it a political issue. Drawing attention to it thereby getting his name in the media. Gay people act like they went through the holacost. I'm sure some have had it horrible. But without judging to much his life has been pretty good he's been a very successful skier and when he came out he didn't get beaten, he got even more popular. I just dont get why its such a big deal to divulged your sexuality. Not hating I just think it should be way less talked about as a issue let alone a political issue. It should be a case by case basis just because your gay doesn't mean you can talk like you have been oppressed and had all these horrible things done to you. That's like someone who is rich talking about how hard life is for them and how they cant afford to pay their bills. Im not against gays just the opposite i think they should do what they want but it shouldn't be used against them and they shouldn't use it for gain. It should be a non issue.
Or with the trans thing Just because someone goes from a dude to a chick doesn't mean everyone needs to throw them a party. And I don't see how that makes you a hero. (Past Olympian who used to have a penis) just do it and shut up.

Why is is so popular to talk about girls? Why does it matter. We get it, you like girls. We get it, the girl working the counter has a nice ass. Cool. Stop rubbing in peoples faces.
Why wouldn't you let people you know that you're gay? Yeah, I just won't tell anyone I'm gay so I continue to hear shitty gay jokes, or people talk about how shitty gay people are. I've had people I've known well and I was like "Yo I'm gay". A lot of people just don't know a gay person, or know that they know one.
People say "Who cares" "Why is this an issue?"
Believe me, it would be dope if it wasn't an issue. It would still be worth stating just so other guys know, and girls know to stop hitting on you.
What the hell does being gay, have to do with being rich and talking about being poor?
Gay people need good role models. Straight people need to see solid gay role models. It's not like he was like, "Wow I'm not popular, I'm going to tell people I'm gay in some conspiracy to become popular" Hell he didn't even know how well it would be received.
YoungNickolasI respect the man and all that he has done for the sport, but ever since he came out he's been pushing his agenda hard. It seems as though he believes he is entitled to do whatever and say whatever just because he came out.
Edit: this is America and He can do that.. He's just on another level

Yeah. I saw his insta the other day. He robbed a bank and was like "Fuck you! Im gay hahahahahah!!!! What are ya gonna do!"
He was honking at an old lady crossing the street and then screamed " hahahahah fuck you I'm gay!"
He's just doing anything he fucking wants and nobody is doing anything to stop him!
The last time Gus was in the Olympics he could have been put in jail in that country for being gay. That was only four years ago. Theres parts of the world that you can be put to death for it so Gus wasnt going to let this Olympics go by without being a voice for the LGBT. Dissing Pence may have not been the best thing but the people that are hating were always going to hate him because of his sexuality anyway. Hope he can do well tomorrow after all the injuries.

I haven't seen anything saying he's the first openly gay olympian, he said he's the first openly gay action sports athlete.

people like you make me fucking hate NS
holy mollusk! I am confident you do not know the first thing about oppression (or grammar). Gus has seen popular support plop in his lap and he would be dumb as fuck to not utilize that social capital to make some change. Sure his speaking out may be a small ancillary benefit to his media presence but it is evident that he is using that and mobilizing the shit outta people to come out and be proud of who they are (not to divulge from their sexuality).
"gay people act like they went through the holocaust"
"it should be a case by case basis.."
boy u need some education!
How the fuck can you equate being privileged to being gay or trans? Man, dozens of gay and trans people get fucking murdered every year. I don't understand how you cannot write that off as oppression?
Gus is utilizing his position to make a systemic change, or atleast try (OP- systemic is very much the antithesis to 'case by case').
there is no fucking way you can say you're "against gays" because with that rhetoric and logic you very much are.
Emma_Watsonpeople like you make me fucking hate NS
ancillary divulge systemic antithesis rhetoric
Do you think this clown even knows what these words mean?
Also, grinds my gears when people talk about the "gay agenda." From what I know, the gay agenda is being able to pass legal benefits to a spouse and not get beat up/killed. Pretty wild agenda
K-Dot.Mike Pence is very openly anti-LGBT. Why would Gus not say something against him when he has the spotlight on him? More power to Gus to using his platform to say fuck you to a clear bigot
Pence is a devout Christian. That gets misconstrued with him being "Anti Gay"- a myth made up by the left to villainize people who share traditional or conservative views. It has never been proven he supported gay conversion therapy. He has attempted to reach out to Rippon and Kenworthy, has publicly supported them, but those 2 drama queens want attention and want to make themselves seem Victimized- Because in 2018, nothing gets more likes or support than Victimization-HA!
The irony of all of this is that they demand acceptance and respect for their sexual orientation, but at the same time refuse to offer any respect or tolerance for people who disagree with their own sexual persuasions or lifestyles, even if it contradicts their own moral code. Mike Pence has attempted to take the "Love the sinner, hate the sin route" but both Rippon and Kenworthy have rejected his overtures due to some mythical/false moral high ground they believe they are taking.
The biggest irony of all of this is that the Left would much rather stand against a Christian who has different views on morality than a Muslim immigrant from Syria who probably believes in beheading gays and throwing them off buildings.
As a proud , God loving American who bleeds red white and blue, my support for Slopestyle goes to E Dollo, not some entitled, self righteous, uninformed douche from Telluride.

Yea in countries with high % of Muslims!!!! Something that our current administration is trying to prevent. I would venture to say that most instance of gays murdered in the US in this day and age are between fellow gays/lovers, not Matthew Shepherd situations.
Its positive that gay people/their impact have reached the mainstream of US culture- Its time for them to end the victim mentality.

"Mike pence has taken the 'love the sinner/hate the sin route" and enacted discriminatory laws in Indiana based on that belief! His influence is also seen in the justice department and the transgender ban. You can have all the respect and tolerance you want as long as you give that to other people too and vice versa. Pence hasn't been respectful or tolerant to the LGBT community so why should Gus be respectful back. Would I have liked for Gus to stfu about Pence, yes, absolutely because it distracts from his talent and why he is at the Olympics in the first place.

What bc of the Cake issue? The government shouldn't be involved with who/with a business chooses to work with. Do you think a liberal baker in Portland would want or feel comfortable to bake a Trump Cake , should the government mandate that he has to?
Mike Pence supports laws that protect gay people from Radical Islamic Ideology, like that is sweeping England, Germany, France etc. Countries with No Go Zones or Sharia law areas. Countries that due to demographic shifts will be very hostile to gay people within 10+ years. Last time I checked Gays could get married, last I checked it was illegal for companies to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. Lets stop dividing people into segments and just all be Americans.

It’s actually nothing like a rich kid talking about how hard life is for them. Rich kids don’t get openly attacked or oppressed for being rich. People in the LGBT community do because the world is filled with a bunch of cunts who think their religion and beliefs should be imposed on everyone. Mike Pence is a fuckwit who thinks gay individuals should go to therapy to become straight. No one has the belief that rich kids should go to therapy to become not rich.
I am glad Gus is using his platform to speak out against Pence. His platform has a bigger impact than someone like me speaking out for it. Our country is run by rich white me who are not open to change and making the world a more accepting place for everyone. I’m not saying to go all snowflake butthurt about everything but shit if you feel the need to attack someone because of who they choose to have sex with then you need to take a good look at your browsing history and the people you’ve fucked and realize you’re not all that’s holy in the lords light.

can i have a source for pence supporting conversion therapy? That is a really serious allegation, So I trust you are making it on firm grounds, not flimsy circumstantial evidence.

this 100%.
it takes balls to single out the Vice Prez of the USA, and Pence fully deserves Kenworthy's tongue-lashing.
im proud for gus speaking his mind, however, guy has always been a asshole pre and post coming out.
it doesn't matter who says what, everyone has an opinion and Gus has a platform and he's just smarter than most to use it, with that said, if he never came out of the closet, he wouldn't have been relevant at all in his career, its his business to be gay or do whatever he wants, but he was a prick before he came out, and he's still a prick being out in the open. He's just playing his cards to become the entitled 1% asshole that he is and make some money along the way, and trust me, he's making hand over fist with his lifestyle, skiing is the least of his worries right now, but since there are no other gay skiers to come out at the moment he's a big fish in a small pond.

lol good ol boy from georgia accuses the lgbt community of being entitled, self-righteous, uninformed and douchey.
tries to claim the moral high ground as a proud (self-righteous) god loving (pious) american (probably owns a confederate battle flag too) but cant bring himself to support american athletes who disagree with him politically.

'If he never came out of the closet, he wouldn't have been relevant at all in his career'
He's won an Olympic medal and 5 X Game medals across every discipline you absolute dickhead! He will be remembered as one of the most tech and progressive skiers ever to compete all the while putting out killer edits. Go back and watch the one he did with Tom Wallisch or his 2013 edit Fly/Warrior.

i don't think it's accurate to say that Gus was irrelevant before he came out. In fact, Gus had just won Freeskier Magazine's Reader's Poll prior to coming out, which means he was popular, and skiers really liked him.
@LANTASKIlast I checked it was illegal for companies to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. .
Last I checked that depends on what state you live in. For example in PA you can fire somebody because they are gay.Pretty sure there are a couple other states that are the same.
TOAST.Last I checked that depends on what state you live in. For example in PA you can fire somebody because they are gay.Pretty sure there are a couple other states that are the same.
why were you checking that wtf, you wanted to fire somebody for being gay!?
Casey99% Percent Chance that Pence is secretly gayer than a 3 dollar bill
It's kind of funny/fucked up how many of the anti gay reps are actually gay. It makes sense though. I remember this kid in my home town was kind of a douche. This one time at the ice cream stand these two guys our age were getting ice cream. Didn't even see anything that suggested they were together but whatever. And he was like "Look at those f*ggots" and went on about it. I really couldn't understand why. Nobody had even noticed them or said anything about them. It was just out of nowhere. It seemed so random and unnecessary.
Then maybe a year later he heard that I was gay, and started texting me asking if he could suck my dick. I thought it was a joke at first or some weird prank or trying to beat me up or something. But it was legit. I cut off contact with him because it got really annoying after a while. He's dating a girl though and running logging equipment now, probably as homophobic as ever, and trying to take any dick he can find.
But the night at the ice cream place and other stuff he said mixed with that always kind of made me shake my head and chuckle.
Def seems like people that wish they weren't gay, feel ashamed, etc can have that tendency to be homophobic. Obviously there are plenty of straight people that are as well, because they're ignorant, but the gay people hating gays is just stupid.
There was a documentary about this gay guy that was outing politicians that were anti gay. I can't remember if it was any good, but a cool concept. I'm not generally one for outing people, but if you're going to vote against gays, talk about how homosexuality is horrible, but secretly hook up with dude? I'm totally cool with those people being outed. Damn hypochristians

Seconded- he is not a very chill dude. I went to the same High North session for a year
theabortionatorIt's kind of funny/fucked up how many of the anti gay reps are actually gay.
This is such a fact. Kid at my school made fun of my friend for being gay. But you're right it makes so much sense. people grow up in these homophobic communities, and have thoughts they hate they have, and they get shit/shit on themselves for it, so they feel like they need to do it to others.
cool_namecan i have a source for pence supporting conversion therapy? That is a really serious allegation, So I trust you are making it on firm grounds, not flimsy circumstantial evidence.
Considering this comes straight from his website that states his views on issues from back in 2000 I’d call it as good a source as any. “Institutions that provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior”.
If that isn’t support of converting those of gay orientation straight then idk what is dude. Also if you say 2000 isn’t relevant then why hasn’t he denounced this stance when it’s been asked in recent years of him?
Face it. Pence is an old religious fuck who doesn’t deserve to be the Vice President of the US in 2018.

Yeah. He didn't denounce it that I remember at any point in the election. Now he's probably taking heat for it because of the olympics I guess? Idk. But now he's saying he doesn't hate gays?

Weird.
I just don’t get why these dudes don’t come out and put all the bullshit to bed. Like if he really is in support of the LGBT community then fucking say it. Say I support them and denounce all the negative media shit. But they don’t. Because realistically I don’t think they support that community. They support their fellow shitty old white Americans who think they can enforce their hateful religious and personal agendas on the population.
big shoutout to white middle class republican guys who have a fetish for ignoring historic discrimination and current systemic disadvantages against minorities (gays, racial minorities, trans) and claiming "its time to stop playing the victim card" because in 2018 we've progressed to no longer having lynchings in the streets. Ever thought that perhaps its easier to be a straight white guy in day-to-day life than it is to be a gay man? Have some fuckin sympathy for people who are disadvantaged by the system. There is nothing more pathetic than a white guy whining about how gays, trans, and blacks are playing the victim, and it is unfair to your white privileged ass. That makes you a cuck. (disclaimer: I believe each individual has their own blessings and privileges despite any identity politics and we can all succeed if luck fates us to. That is no excuse to ignore systemic biases and historical discrimination against certain minority groups)
AuschieConsidering this comes straight from his website that states his views on issues from back in 2000 I’d call it as good a source as any. “Institutions that provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior”.
If that isn’t support of converting those of gay orientation straight then idk what is dude. Also if you say 2000 isn’t relevant then why hasn’t he denounced this stance when it’s been asked in recent years of him?
Face it. Pence is an old religious fuck who doesn’t deserve to be the Vice President of the US in 2018.
As I said, I hoped you would not be making such a serious statement without firm grounds. This is in no way firm grounds.
The Ryan White Care Act is an act aimed at stopping/ slowing the spread of hiv/aids, a sexually transmitted disease.
Sexual behaviour is not the same as sexual orientation. Sexual behaviour includes things such as not using protection, having multiple partners, and having sex outside of a long term relationship, all which would increase the spread of hiv/aids.
Whats more likely, he was trying to sneak funding for conversion therapy into a bill aimed to slow the spread of aids, or he was seeking funds to go to orginaztions who help people change their sexual behaviour to safer alternatives, such as regular testing, use of condoms etc?
