LGBTQ+ in figure skating

Johnny Weir and other LGBTQ personalities in the upcoming season of the traitors


And Tara is among one of the straights. Lol.

The article claims Tara is a "fashion icon".

A fashion icon for whom? ? Johnny and the remaining dozen members of the "Angels"? The boomers who own the plantation where she had her wedding? Adam Solya?

I do admire Tara, but a fashion icon she is not.

Amber had a similar story a couple days ago now Paul Poirier has this currently uploaded in his story. Here is the link so you don’t have to go when it expires.

How figure skating is developing beyond its heteronormative history​



When Paul Poirier began competing on the senior international ice dance scene more than 15 years ago, there were no athletes who openly identified as 2SLGBTQI+ actively competing in figure skating.

As Poirier heads towards his fourth Olympic Games, he is among some of the biggest stars in the sport who have chosen to no longer hide a part of themselves while they compete for Olympic medals.

“In the space of visibility and representation, there’s been a lot of progress and change in that time,” Poirier recently reflected in an interview with Olympic.ca.

Since coming out in 2021, ”It’s changed my mentality day to day in terms of how I bring myself to the rink,” he said. “It might have been self imposed, but there was a pressure to maintain a level of professionalism where I show up and I skate and this is my job and the rest of myself doesn’t really matter in the context of my work.

I probably posted too much, but you can read the rest of the article at the link above.
