American homos gave you everything from Gay Pride to the Rainboy flag and circuit parties, not to mention the modern gay bar and the right to even marry originated in the US. You marxist jackass!

I will check into it. Heard that Blake has already gotten e-mail from kids who told him they read his story and he is an inspiration. Great for him!

Maybe you need to consider using Captcha or something. Regarding Blake, he seems like a great guy. I stumbled onto his Twitter account and it also demonstrates his fun attitude. http://twitter.com/BlakeSkjellerup Guys your comment board is getting spammed badly.

Every person that comes out helps us all out, but when celebrities, sports people, etc. do it, it helps that much more. He is another awesome man and we should all be greatful he has come out.

I bet there are more people like this than a lot of people think in college and pro sports. It's how I was on my college team, at least. Most people are not activists and publicly coming out is still an activist political statement. Good for him for sitting down for this interview. “Skjellerup said he would have told any interviewer during the Games he was gay if asked, but he felt coming out publicly before might have affected his focus and potential sponsors.”
