out lgbtq+ olympians!

this is my third attempt at this post. I am using the list compiled by outsports here. i highly encourage you to click through and read about each of these athletes.

below the cut is the list of the 182* out lgbtq+ athletes at the tokyo games. from the outsports list i have added some scheduling information -- if they've already competed, how they did, and if they are still competing/are yet to compete, when you can catch them. all times are US central daylight, because that's where I live.

representation in sport is SO important for lgbtq+ kids. allies, PLEASE make it a point to post about these athletes on your social media. making the olympic team is a HUGE accomplishment for anyone, and the social barriers that exist for most lgbtq+ athletes make it even MORE amazing.

Arranged by alphabetical order of sport. I have bolded the names of athletes who are still competing or will compete later in the Olympics. Athletes' names are italicized when they win a medal.
