LGBT Sports winners and losers of the week – Outsports

Time once again for Outsports to stop the clock for an instant reply of the week that was. Its my way of memorializing the glorious victories, the ignominious defeats, and the players and personalities who made them, lived them or just couldnt avoid them.

The newly minted AEW tag team champion rightfully faced ridicule after using homophobic slurs on Twitter back in 2011, an admittedly dark time in his 17-year career.

Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle said he didnt attend the White Houses World Series celebration out of solidarity with his wife and her two moms.

In his memoir, Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon writes about love, falling down, getting up, and, yes, Mike Pence. He talks about it with co-founder Cyd Zeigler on his new weekly podcast, Five Rings To Rule Them All, which highlights the lives of out LGBTQ Olympians ahead of Tokyo.

The first woman to win consecutive Olympic gold medals in the ring steps down due to irreversible eye damage.

The San Francisco 49ers are off to a hot start for the 2019 season, 8-0, the most positive surprise of the season so far. And theyre doing it with an openly gay coach on the staff. Katie Sowers came out publicly in 2017 after she had been hired by the 49ers.

One of Londons loudest voices on the far right took aim at a trans woman named 2019 Kent Women Player of the Year: Another kick in the ovaries for biological females everywhere, Katie Hopkins tweeted. The captain of her cricket team fired back: Personally Im proud to call her my teammate and my friend. So please attempt dont speak for me or my ovaries.

The Union Cycliste Internationale announced it may reset maximum testosterone levels for trans athletes competing in womens sports. But the bottom line, as Dr. Rachel McKinnon made crystal clear on Twitter Thursday: a change in the maximum level of testosterone allowable for a trans woman to compete in womens cycling will have no effect on my eligibility.

The Amsterdam Lowlanders 2020 calendar is not just 12 pictures of naked men, its proof, says the photographer: there is no real ideal image.
