If you didn’t watch the Olympics on Monday, August 8, you missed the hottest, most scandalous night in television of the year.
It started with the men’s synchronized diving competition. And look out, Tom Daley, there’s a new hot boy in town. Meet Daniel Goodfellow.
Openly gay Daley certainly knows all about Goodfellow’s hotness already. They’re platform diving partners for Team GB. And they are a stunning, fat-free pair.
Although Goodfellow (below, right) has Daley (below, left) beat in the junk-in-the-trunk department.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Bubblicious.
In addition to being delectable to watch, as they writhe around in the air doing flips and twists in sync, they are also legitimately talented: Daley and Goodfellow won the Bronze, which is wonderful, so congrats to them.
But the fun was just beginning.
After leaving the diving pool, we joined the swimmers and watched this tall drink of American water bring home a gold medal in the 100 meter back stroke.
His name is Ryan Murphy, and it is so much more fun when the Olympians are gorgeous.
Then U.S. breast stroke swimmer Lilly King taught everyone a lesson in how to read a bitch, when she publicly called out Russian competitor Yulia Efimova for talking too much game. Efimova had been one of the Russian athletes suspended from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics for using performance-enhancing drugs, but was reinstated at the last minute and allowed to compete. Then she had the audacity to proclaim herself as “#1,” waggling her finger in front of everyone in the pool like the typical Russian villain Americans loved to hate in the 1980’s. And Miss King, being a red-blooded American champion, wasn’t having it. The children must be schooled. So King stood in front of every news camera she could find, informed the world that she didn’t need drugs to win, and boom, she zoomed across that pool and snatched the gold. Atta girl. Although Efimova got the silver. Did the drugs make a difference with the Russian earning a medal? It doesn’t matter now. Because as a group Americans celebrated King’s spectacular win, this guy on the left adjusted his Speedo beneath his towel and nothing else mattered.
Who is he? We are dying to know.
A few races later, Michael Phelps served serious stink eye realness to South African swimmer Chad le Clos, who beat Phelps in the London 2012 Olympics in the 100 meter butterfly.
Le Clos was bouncing around the waiting room, obviously taunting Phelps, and it apparently didn’t sit well with the champ.
They did make it to the pool, but this was just a preliminary race. Both guys qualified for the 100 meter butterfly finals, which will occur on another day. Fingers crossed Phelps wins this time around and squashes le Clos like a bug.
But enough of the water. Let’s finish out the evening with the men’s gymnastics team competition. The boys in red, white and blue made a flurry of errors, so they didn’t come close to earning a team medal, but they will still compete in individual events later in the week. And they earned perfect scores for finding the camera and serving face.
Yes honey.

Thanks for the jack-off material!

Goodfellow is much better looking than Daley
Mack
@charlie_jackpot: I agree. When I saw them on the platform I was thinking Daley is cute but Goodfellow is hotter.

I will never watch the Olympics until the USOC apologizes to the family of Dr. Tom Waddell and the simply horrific treatment of him by the USOC due to the fight for the use of the word “Olympic” for the Gay Olympic Games. Aside from the Olympic ties to Nazi Germany, what they did to Tom destroyed my last tiny bit of interest in the organization and laid bare the falsity of the so-called, “Olympic spirit.” Frankly, I am rather shocked Queerty spends so much time giving free publicity to such a homophobic organization.
n1spirit
Agreed.

I don’t know about anyone else but somehow I get very gay vibes from David Boudia. Saw and interview with him and his diving partner and bells just went every where. A hot couple.

Jesus the cheekbones on that Goodfellow guy. Brings out the patriot in me it does to see this young lad bouncing up and down on wood finishing with a big splash

The eye candy was gold medal quality for sure.

I love homo-erotic events; especially when the male selection is delicious.

@Mack: Maybe you saw the affection between David Boudia and his wife. They are indeed a pretty pair.

@MacAdvisor: We get it. You are stuck in history. Nobody at USOC or IOC is going to apologize for protecting their trademark property, and nobody involved with the Gay Games is damaged by the legalities of the case. So, go ahead and don’t watch. The rest of us will enjoy eye candy now and then.

@charlie_jackpot: Unfortunately, Daley has been overexposed in the media. When my partner and I first watched him in the 2014 Olympics, his beauty was absolutely breathtaking. Looks like he has matured (duh) and gained a little more muscle since then. While no longer a fresh face (and body), he is still an extraordinarily beautiful man (imho.) We are so frikkjng envious of DLB that we have to look away when they show him in the audience.

Goodfellow does have a very handsome face, but Daley has an ass that doesn’t quit. Yummy.

@kittyconrad:
The USOC protected their “trademarked” property, a common English word, against no one but the Gay Olympic Games. They were fine with the Chile Olympics, the Special Olympics, Olympic Gas, and so on and so forth.
Dr. Waddell, the founder of the Games, lost his home and several others involved with the first Games also suffered financially, so, yes, people with the Games were hurt.
Am I stuck in the past, sure, if that’s what you think. Perhaps I don’t so easily sell my soul to the commercial, Nazi-inspired Olympic games. Go, watch the Olympics, vote for Trump, defund AIDS research, who cares? Remembering the past is so over with.

Queerty must investigate Ryan Murphy’s “best friend” and swimming companion–they were in neighboring lanes today when Ryan won his heat and Jacob Pebley was right behind them. Both were interviewed after the heat by NBC’s female reporter. You could tell the way these two beauties interacted there is something more than swimming between them. At the end of the interview, as they walked away, Adonis butts on parade, Murphy is behind Pebley and slaps him on the ass gently. I think we shall hear wedding bells after the closing ceremony.

@MacAdvisor: Most people involved in the Gay Games seem to harbor little or no animosity towards the IOC/USOC. Gay Games has a better ring anyway, and plays up the emphasis on participation over competition (thought the competition was great in the years I competed in the cycling events). Waddell certainly seemed to move past that conflict and took pride in his creation, as well as his family. I was lucky to have made his acquaintance (once while dating a tenant in his property on Albion St, and once at the baths…a VERY fond memory).
And the games seems to have embraced inclusiveness like so much of the rest of the world.

It’s hilarious how horny gay guys pine after men they’ll never have. Horny gay guys remind me of horny straight guys.

@dwes09:
I agree Dr. Waddell has moved past the insult of the USOC. He was a vastly more forgiving person than I am and he’s dead. Nothing helps one move on like death. I helped (in a very, very tiny way) with organizing the first Gay Games and still proudly display the Gay Olympic Games poster that I have. I met him only in professional contexts, but he was a saint. If all he did was the Haight Free Clinic, he’d have done more good in this world than most people, but he did so much more. Given all he did and seeing him suffer at the hands of USOC, I am just not willing to give them a pass. Allowing the Gay Games to use the word “Olympic,” even if the Games chose not to, would cost the USOC nothing and show they are sorry.
I agree with you most strongly the Gay Games are about inclusion and comradery, while the Olympics games seem to be solely about competition and winning.
No
@MacAdvisor: I absolutely agree with you Mac. I was a volunteer at the Haight Free Clinic and a medalist in GGII. I remember and I don’t forget. As for Miss KittyC, she should put down the lube and open a book.

Who cares? Im tired of the olympians if you notice hardly ever do any of them even so much as acknowledge LGBT americans much less our rights their LGBT fans etc..
Screw them.
I notice people drool over Nathan Adrian yet I asked him years ago very politely if he was gay friendly and he refused to answer the question and I noticed he posted not long after I asked the question INTENTIONALLY avoiding the question which ANSWERED the question immediately.
Michael Phelps has never said one positive thing about our community much less acknowledged our existence and Im quite frankly tired of it.
Id like to see some LGBT positive people representing this country and by that I mean straight athletes that actually champion our community and our rights as Americans instead of giving those pitiable statements about loving everyone or loving ALL their fans etc…
Sorry Im just tired of it thats why I rarely root for any of these people they certainly dont support us so why the hell should we openly support them?
Smh.
When the Russia debacle happened at the Olympics a few years ago you will also notice that barely any athlete spoke out against it as in the anti gay atrocities happening in Russia and that goes to show how significant we are to THEM .
Louis
Ryan Lochte is also a typical frat boy he has never once said anything positive about LGBT people .
Its kinda obvious hes one of those who mocks us with his friends privately .
From what I witnessed of his reality show though hes not exactly the bastion of intelligence to begin with.
