I don't pay attention to Juniors. But also I was hoping for more details. Thanks, @Sylvia for all those links!

2012 World pairs bronze medallist Narumi Takahashi has come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community at a Pride House Tokyo event.

性的少数者とカミングアウト　フィギュアの高橋成美さん「怖さある」：朝日新聞デジタル

Just says Narumi, not "medalists".

Allezfred did use the singular verb "has come out" (and Narumi Takahashi's partner in 2012 is not Japanese).

Her machine translated quote from the article:

Takahashi said, "I think I'm a Q who doesn't belong in the LGBT category." Q is defined as "queer" who has a sexual orientation/gender identity that does not fall under L (lesbian), G (gay), B (bisexual), or T (transgender), or "whose sexual orientation or gender identity is undefined." refers to questioning.

If he didn't have a gram of fat he'd be dead. Bodies need fat to function.

Outsports' article on Wesley Campbell (Sept. 21, 2023):

I totally get the point though. It’s so unfair to us vs these athletes lol.

Who doesn’t like a hottie in a speedo, currently I think Jorik is in Miami Beach next to the LGBTQ plus lifeguard stand. Are they on their way to Allen Texas or something?

I live across the street and in the neighborhood of a few of Hollywood celebrities from this era and my mom was always into tab Hunter she loved him and I’m watching this video on him now.

his first boyfriend was a figure skater Ronnie Robertson. They mentioned it around the nine minute mark, does anybody have any background on him?

I actually just finished watching the rest of the video and he must’ve been boyfriends with this figure skater for a while because around the 18 minute mark they mention he goes on an ice-skating vacation with his boyfriend and that was well after he got the job that James Dean, and Paul Newman tested for but did not get. He was already a Warner Bros. star now.

Wow, the story of tab Hunter has all the parallelisms of showtimes fellow travelers with Matt Bomer that’s on right now that’s excellent.
