It's missing the 3rd sausage.

So what would Brian Boitano do
If he were here today,
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two,
That's what Brian Boitano'd do.


Change the word kick and it still fits

 

[lupi]

I guess we now know the answer.

What about the other skinny smooth faced one always wearing that sheer fabric as part of his costume..

 

[saratoga172]

Who?

 

[bononos]

Who?

I don't follow skating but he's up there in the elite group as Boitano and probably doesn't even need to come out to 'be out'.

Edit- Just did a google of gay american figure skater and Johnny Weir popped up.

This coming out crap needs to stop. It's not "revolutionary" anymore. People coming out was a big deal 10 years ago. These days though, it's like telling people it might rain 7 days from now. Who gives a f*%

I guess it might be a new gay fashion or something. Or perhaps his ways of saying call me boy friend 😀😀

No, it needs mustard.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

No, it needs mustard.

And ketchup. :awe:

It's missing the 3rd sausage.

And a gerbil.

 

[Paratus]

And a gerbil.

That's what Richard Gere would do.

It's an entirely different guy, altogether.

 

[dbk]

I thought he came out in the 90s.. hmmm

Cool pic

 

[bradley]

All of the quotes from Brian concerning the issue are very cool. He's definitely earned my respect.

Maybe he's making sure the Russians know before he goes to the Olympics.

Depends on the sport.
In some sports there are "no" gay players.
Recently in the UK a football (soccer) player game out as gay as he was planning to retire. He is the second person ever to do so in English football.

So yeah, some dude in some less well known sport coming out might not be a big deal in some ways, but there are lots of sports in lots of countries where it is still an issue. And since sport is international, it's not just a domestic/country specific thing necessarily.
