Skater Adam Rippon comes out

Shocked. Absolutely shocked.

Ugly queen.

No shit Sherlock!

OMG! A gay male figure skater? What's next? Lesbian softball players?

Ugly? Please. Yeah, he might be too femme for some tastes, but I don't see anything about him one could possibly deem ugly.

The hair is ugly

The hair is fruity

If he had done this years ago, it would have improved his skating.

Celebrities rarely come out unless they are in a relationship.

Realistically, it would have been bigger news if he had come out as straight...

There's no winning with you people! If someone's closeted you hate 'em. If someone comes out you bitch about it. Get it together!!

We're only interested in HOT STRAIGHT GUYS (who have gay sex on the down low)

I just wanna know who designed that top in OPS pic. Work of art it is! And he wears the hell out of it like it's nobody's business

I find him really really hot...lovely news!

Why was he pretending to date girls until just a few months ago?

When will Evan Lysacek come out, though?

Last time I checked a few months ago, he was still posting photos of himself with girls on Instagram.

Are you confusing him with Evan? Adam never did that. He's BFFs with Ashley Wagner, and they would go to events together, but they have clearly never been a couple - she has a boyfriend.

fug!

I hope Adam plays a princess in Disney On Ice. Maybe one of the Frozen sisters?

He comes out? He comes out? For X's sake, the guy has Lucille Ball's hairdo!

Still hot, still single, still hmm straight...

Snow Prince:

High and Shadey:

All-American boy:

Hey!

Fly!

Is that Eddie Haskell at R25?

Wurk!

Well-oiled:

I wonder how many bedazzled hoodies are owned by collage boy known as R30??

Always on Top!

Good for you Adam.

he n eeds my cock

Admit it you elderqueens, he's hot and you'd do him.

I'd brown bag it & go about my business

[quote]Rippon told Rosewater that current attitudes toward alternative lifestyles helped influence his decision.

Sweetie, being gay isn't like being a goth. You don't get to take off the black mascara when you're ready for the next fad.

Evan is also fug. Always has been.

As fug as the day is long. You bitches are thirsty.

God, he's fat.

r37, I'll cut him some slack since he spent his whole life in rink but wow is there some camp they send obviously gay figure skaters too where they learn to hate themselves?

It's only a surprise when male figure skaters are straight.

There are certainly a lot of bitter and nasty queens in here. (Yes, I know where I am and shouldn't really be surprised). I understand why someone like Johnny Weir rubs people the wrong way, but what has Adam ever done to deserve the hate? He seems like a lovely guy. And really, picking on HIS looks? Is that all you got? He's a hell of a lot cuter than Patrick Chan, Jeremy Abbott, Jason Brown, or Evan Lysacek. And undoubtedly much cuter than most of the people calling him ugly on here.

Paul Wylie would NOT approve.

R16 RIght? Evan will come out when Darren Criss does both are COCK teasers!

Seems like there is a higher number of gay men in ice skating than there are in other sports, with the exception maybe of American football.

1) Sequins!

2) Showtunes!

3) Jazz hands!

4) You get to "Put on a show"

5) You get to be a STAR!

Nope. Nothing gay about that.

Wow I didn't realize Adam was 25, I was thinking maybe 19 or 20

He handsome. How can you bitter queens call him fug? His styling is fey but I wouldn't say his body and face are all that feminine.

[quote] His styling is fey but I wouldn't say his body and face are all that feminine.

Caitlyn is more masculine.

Yet again another coming out with the "it doesn't define me" caveat.

When with this "I'm gay but please don't hate me" fad finally end?

Speaking of hot skaters, does anyone remember John Zimmerman? He was on Queer Eye in 2004. Gorgeous man.

Adam is currently 7th at the World Championships at 85.72 for the short.

He can't beat Hanyu or Fernadez, but I really wish he would beat that homophobic Skate Canada Patrick Chan.

Does Adam have a boyfriend?

He's about one step away from transitioning.
