    Tom makes a very valid point. Why are international events held in nations where human rights are not valued? Why are we even asking this question in 2021?

    Been watching his career since he was 16 yrs old. Amazed and not surprised he's come so far in career and journey as an out and proud gay man. Str8 people don't realize we have to "come out" every day when we don't hide ourselves behind the artificial walls. But doing so publicly to the whole world as a Gold medal winning Olympic athlete - that's courage!

They are hilarious together!!! He clearly defined the prejudices & possible harm the LGBTQ community could & has encountered. I also admire how he corrected the interviewer on his husband's occupation. Not a script writer !!!! He is much more and Dustin is much more.

It was clearly the right decision for him and both an example of how being your own person can help you be your own person despite the adversity you some times face. He give hope to many people around the world who's human rights abuses they might also overcome with his support by his example and their own courage.

    Why did a country like China, with its total disrespect and disregard of human rights and freedoms, be even considered for staging the Olympic Games? The idea of the Games is to bring everyone together in the harmony of sport, a concept which the Chinese government has no understanding of or desire to uphold. Good on an athlete like Tom for saying it as it is. Athletes could fear for their freedoms or even their lives, including those of fellow athletes, in particular the Chinese participants, if a perceived wrong word or action offends the Communist Party. Who gains from this decision?
