It has been quite an Olympics for Mr. Gus Kenworthy. He may not have taken home any medals this time around, but he still managed to make quite a few headlines throughout the games.
Whether it was kissing his boyfriend on live TV before a qualifying run, adopting a puppy from a Korean dog meat farm, or sharing photos of his bruised behind on Instagram, there never seemed to be a dull moment with Gus around.

Now, it’s his tweet about Ivanka Trump crashing the Closing Ceremonies that has everyone talking. Yesterday, Gus tweeted: “So proud of all these people! Everybody here has worked so hard to make it to the Olympics and have the opportunity to walk in the closing ceremony! Well… Everyone except Ivanka. Honestly, tf is she doing here??”
How about we take this to the next level?

Seriously, though, what was Ivanka doing there?

Later that day, he shared a photo with fellow out Olympian Adam Rippon, writing: “Two weeks ago, at opening ceremonies, we met and a friendship began. Today, at closing ceremonies, it ends. @Adaripp, please stop calling me. You’re honestly starting to get v clingy and I can’t anymore.”

He made himself seem quite petty and mean-spirited. He’d already made his point and should have just let things be.
OzJosh
Or shining a light on the president’s airhead daughter still behaving like she’s the First Lady – and doing it on the public purse. Quite worthwhile, I would say.
happy50132003
I agree. Gays want everyone to be tolerant and all Gus did was to tell the word that gays do not have to be tolerant of others. What a jerk to pic a fight with the Trump administration
KaiserVonScheiss
Let’s see. She’s the daughter of the sitting president, probably trying to show support for her nation’s athletes.
This let’s us know who the real hater is in this equation. Hint: it ain’t Ivanka.
tham
what does vodka, beef stroganoff and you have in common?
Hint: it’s not American.
whatsaywhat
Yeah it’s kind of a bitter bitchy way to end the Olympics.
Better to just completely ignore Vanky & not let her & her crime family take any more of the spotlight.
Juanjo
Oh look, the usual sock puppets are upset that someone dissed one of the White House skanks.
mhoffman953
Sounds like he’s just bitter that he couldn’t win any gold medals

And Adam seems to be a very nice boy. He’s very funny, too.
DCguy
LOL!!! I LOVE it when the one troll gets so upset that he has all of his troll screenames freak out at exactly the same time.
Hey “Mo Bro” remember we’ve told you many times that if you have all of your screenames post at the same time it is VERY obvious.
derek mcgillicuddy
A question, too: why would you make such a comment publicly on the twitter thing? Do young people think that if it’s said privately, gently, and courteously, it has no import? I do not understand this Gus Kenworthy. Seems like something a diva like Diana Ross would do (but even she’d do it classy).
Brody
Can anyone explain to me why so many gay men are so bitchy and catty and full of vitriol that they feel compelled to randomly insult anyone who doesn’t conform to their worldview?
I mean, this bullshit has reached critical mass, and the fact that it reflects on us all should be of great concern.
GayEGO
Cool down and look at the humorous side, we can use some laughs! :>)
tham
Well the foaming at the mouth, pro-Russian, Pro-Trump gun gay is quite…small…and odd. Kind of like Jews for Jesus.
So it’s just either a bot farm or man…who am I kidding, it’s a bot farm.

Thank you, tham, for helping to prove my point.
GayEGO –
I’m all for a good laugh, but unfortunately the public at large tends to group us together, so when a Gus Kenworthy acts like a self-appointed gay ambassador then behaves like a mouthy he-bitch, it casts a pall over all of us.
WillParkinson
Like some of the commenters here?
tham
There’s no point you’re making…just visceral vomit.
You parrot Russian talking points (and 40 other posters here) and in lock and step.
Yeah, that’s organic. You’re real gay people that think all the same YET, never run into your “type” of gay out in the real world….
Brody
tham –
You’ve never encountered my “type” of gay man before because you’re surrounded by people who all think like you do (and likely because my “type”doesn’t live and die for drag shows or pride parades). That’s called “living in a bubble,” and leads to such delusions as believing anyone who possibly disagrees with you must be a foreign agent planted by Donald Trump.
tham
No it’s because you’re a Russian working in a Bot farm.
GayEGO
I wondered why Ivanka came and not Melania. Is Melania moving farther and farther away from Donnie?
whatsaywhat
She’s his daughterwife and the surrogate first lady when Melania is preoccupied crying into the void.
OzJosh
Read Fire and Fury. Ivanka and husband Jarrad (aka Jarvanka) hold more sway in the White House than just about anyone else – which is in itself quite shocking, especially when you factor in how phenomenally dumb they both are, and the number of PR disasters they have orchestrated in the space of just one year.
mhoffman953
@GayEGO
Maybe if the US would’ve performed better, they would’ve sent someone more important. The US had to send Ivanka to congratulate gold medalists in curling
Gus came in like 12th place in a 12 man competition and mostly just bitched about politics while there
tham
Yes, god knows, gays hate other gays who talk about politics in a public forum.
We should be seen and not heard…or something like that…
Xtian99
As someone who wiped out and took zero medals, one could just as easily ask “Gus….tf you doin’ there?” She is the daughter of a president of a country participating in the Olympics, and – I would presume – went to support American athletes – even those that bottomed out and left with no hardware. I’d think silence would be the bet approach if you cannot muster the diplomacy to say “thanks for the support.”… especially if you want to avoid the “gay-men-as-snarky-bitchy-teen girls” stereotypes so many of us are trying to move away from.
Mick406
LOVED IT, Xtian99!!! He was there to represent our country, not bitch about politics. I don’t think any US citizen should knock our elected leadership while on the international stage. I could despise a President, but the world would never know it, because of pride in my country and RESPECT! He is disgusting. Along with that little sissy bitch Wier with his hair all done up and him prancing and smacking his lips on screen. What a little fag! It is THIS kind of disgusting behavior that heteros don’t like and paints all gay people in the same corner.
And . . . adrianjurado310 . . . “Hillary was recently seen rowing through white hou”se bins like a stoned racoon near a panda express dumpster.” I can’t stop laughing!!!!! Nailed it! YOU should get a gold medal! :))
tham
Russians agreeing with Russians…how adorable.

This statement.
Nailed it, Xtian.

@Mick406 — “I don’t think any US citizen should knock our elected leadership while on the international stage.”
Ivanka Trump was elected? Wow, who knew?!!
graphicjack
Well, he qualified to be there, so there’s that. Now, why was Ivanka there? Was it on the taxpayer’s dime? Then it’s a fair question. Why are taxpayer’s paying for her to have a nice photo op? As for all the right wing hate saying Gus is bitter, these are the same people who called Michelle Obama a whore for wearing a sleeveless dress. Sit down. We all know who the real petty people are. The people who say they are ‘small government’ but want to dictate how people live their lives to the minutia. The people who are against human rights. The people who claim they ‘support women’ but enable an alleged sexual predator and rapist, pay their overseas female workers pennies per hour, and say nothing when a bunch of old white men slowly take away women’s rights over their bodies. Ivanka was not elected to be a political figure. She was not elected to be an ‘advisor’ to the president. She is, not, as far as we can tell, the First Lady. And she certainly was not elected to be an ‘ambassador’ to show up in South Korea for a cute photo op.
omer
Gus Kenworthy is a petty queen. Maybe if he poured all this energy on hating Ivanka into sports he would have probably went home with few gold medals.
Danny595
He looks great on the outside, but he is effeminate on the inside, demonstrating that manhood is based on what’s inside not on superficial appearance.
So no medals and no manhood. He’s a loser. Got involved in all sorts of controversies and news stories which had nothing to do with his Olympic event and he washed out on medals. Not even a bronze. Loser.
Lazycrockett
She’s a fucking grifter and deserves all the shade she gets. Fuck her and the people who give her a pass.

At least send Melania’s,doppleganger.

Ivanka wanted to come and by being a “representative” she got to do it on the American Taxpayers’ dime. Plus she want to check out the cheap labor in South Korea for her product line.
tham
Yeah…South Korea doesn’t have cheap labor…in fact they’re very highly trained and educated.
But your post is cute all the same.
tham
So many Russians bots…
Stilinski26
Haha gold medal at throwing shade since he won zero and placed 12th
mhoffman953
@Stilinski26
You know someone performed bad at the Olympics when instead of reflecting on their journey to come that far, they’re mad about who should and shouldn’t be allowed to attend the Olympics in the audience
tham
Hehe, I hear the bot farms are hell holes to work at…but then again…most of Russia is a hell hole.
Stilinski26
@Danny595 and that ice skating twink has changed his mind agreed to meet VP Pence now lmao! these two are pathetic losers not a good representation of gays on a world stage but gay media like to hail them as heroes they obsessed with Kenworthy
Notright
What a bitter stupid queen. He embodies everything I hate about gay culture. Catty, holds grudges, incapable of keeping his opinions to himself, and doesn’t understand you still have to outwardly respect people you don’t like or agree with.
Ivanka went because she’s the daughter of a siting president to support the athletes. When you see her you smile, say hi & thank you for coming, and walk away. What’s so hard about that? https://rainbowright.com
Seriously these queens may be on their high horses now but soon all their fame will go away and their supposed ‘friends’ will become busy.
PsychOpine
Well said! @Notright
Brody
Since he won no medals, he felt compelled to make news in one way or another, and, like so many, chose notoriety over civility just to be noticed.
DCguy
Oh my my my what a shock, the anti-lgbt troll uses the post as an excuse to attack “Gay Culture” and generalize an entire group of people
o.codone
Seriously Gus, tf are YOU doing there? Sucking up taxpayer money and bringing no gold, no silver, no bronze. But it looks like the real story here is how Gus is telling Adam to stop calling. They probably hooked up right away (remember the kiss and the daddy stuff?) and that was enough for Kenworthy. But Adam, not being too experienced at hook-ups keeps calling and acting all crushy. Kenworthy said, “it ends here”. Damn. Adam’s got a broken heart.
DCguy
If you want proof that the Republican party has degenerated into a cult of personality around it’s dictator Trump you don’t have to go any farther than this post.
The anti-lgbt troll unleashed about 10 screenames to REPEATEDLY attack anybody for saying anything about Ivanka.
They NEVER bother to send that many trolls on any other topic…..but oh, somebody said something about the dictators family, so they go into full freak out mode.
You guys are so far from subtle I hope they dock your troll paychecks this week.
Mmmrrrggglll
Hey Queerty, your comment boards suck lately. Too much B.S. Maybe you should think about disabling comments for a while.
