Anywho, the list is far shorter than I might have imagined. But of course the sport that apparently has the most out medalist is...figure skating. Four to be specific:
Toller Cranston
John Curry
Brian Orser
Ronnie Robertson
What makes a sport gay anyway? Public perception? Sequins? Jazz Hands? Tights? I asked around my work area what my coworkers thought and I got some unusual responses. Ballet (to which the guy next to him remarked Ballet wasn't a sport...but that's another argument!), Gymnastics, Wrestling, Diving, Cycling, Cheerleading (another tort about the validity of that as a sport!), and also Figure Skating.
Hmmm...in fairness, in all these sports the guys do sometimes wear tights or at least tighter clothing. It must be tight clothes that make a sport gay...maybe not? And nobody said soccer....hmmmm.

We work at making every sport gay, or at least make a fun event for every gay athlete.
The mother of the Gay Sports Movement, is the Gay Games. It was started over 25 years ago. Come to a Cologne Gay Games in 2010. year to save your Euros.
You do not need to be an elite athlete to attend the Gay Games. Everyone is welcome to the party.
