What kind of an asshole assumes this out of the context:

"I've fallen," he tells them, referring to the ice, not sin.

Seriously, if you are writing this article then YOU SHOULD KNOW HE IS AN ICE SKATER!!!!

p.s. yes I know of him, yes I have seen him, yes i gave my testicles to my wife 5 years ago, WTF is your point.

  Thank you. I read this post, and the comments until here, thinking the article was about the actor that played Mr. Roeper, on Three's Company. And as I read this, yes, I realize he's long dead but still, how the hell am I supposed to know who some ice skater is?

He may not be openly gay, but he has done extremely well in an openly gay sport.

Meatwad: It's OK, Shake, because whoever you decide that you are, I still gonna love you. But just not in a gay way, because God makes all people in different sizes and shapes and problems, but he only makes the people he hates gay. That's you. You it, boy. You gay!

Master Shake: No, I'm not! You don't know me! (runs off upset)

Meatwad: Hey Frylock, what does that gay mean?
