So it should be no great surprise that out Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy is especially excited about the team, seeing as he’ll actually have a chance to meet them in PyeongChang, South Korea for the 2018 Games.

Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
You get it, Gus.
He recently shared his feelings about the guys, best described in the “devilish grin emoji”–one of our favorites.

But wait–it also appears some members of the bobsledding team share Gus’ excitement. Someone out there is surely about to get clacking away at some quality fan fiction:
