Matt Mitcham is right in expressing glee (glee?) that he's a homo and still named GQ Man of the Year. Can you imagine it happening in the US? I love reading stuff like that. He seems like a nice kid and that's a very handsome picture of him. Good for him! This is a great story so stop complaining.

Just because Mitcham isn't an american doesn't mean he isn't allowed every secondd of glory he deserves. If it had beenan american who won that gold medal, would you be so quick to denigrate the achievement and be as desperate to not hear about him? You made no mention of his nationality, granted, but why else would someone get shitty about a supposedly American website reporting great news about someone who's not a yank? Like some others have said, if you're sick of hearing about this ammazing man, skip the articles about him. My God, Matt.

This is all so very 20th century and just perpetuates the myth that sexual orientation matters. Utterly pathetic.

In fact, the only problem with the articles is there aren't enough photos of him in his diver's Speedo! :mrgreen: California Dolphin I never get tired of articles about Mat Mitcham at all.

Reading about a successful athlete, openly out as well as proud and comfortable with who is awesome. As well, it makes a nice change of pace from Mike Piazza holding press conference to pre-emptively deny being gay and the scores of other professional athletes who are afraid to have the word gay appear in the same paragraph with their name. Kudos to Matt and Outsports for the coverage! I thoroughly enjoy the posts about Matthew Mitcham. Reading about a successful athlete, openly out as well as proud and comfortable with who is awesome.
