Gay Gymnast Sets Sights On Olympic Team And Making History | Gymnast Josh Dixon finished second overall in this weekend’s U.S. Men’s Qualifier, putting him in a strong position to become the nation’s first publicly out male gymnast to participate in the Olympic Games. In an interview with OutSports, Dixon explains that he has never had negative responses to coming out as gay, nor is he concerned it might impact how judges rank his scores. The only two Americans who were out while competing were divers David Pichler and Pattick Jeffrey, though Greg Louganis, Johnny Weir, and Tom Waddell have also come out since their participation in the games.
