Lol y’all stan hard for Adam Rippon. I think it’s bc he is like... very gay and very cool with it. I think folks are just excited bc all our other Visible Gays are either “masculine” and so palatable to straights or clowns and so palatable to straights.
Like, Adam Rippon really threads a needle for some gays of being like... sexy and muscular and Good at a Sport but also would be assumed to be gay by most people pretty quickly.

And like, I’m not shading it—someone had to come along and fill this role and he’s really making the best of his platform in a bunch of positive ways.

It’s just super interesting to me that we’re at a point in gay male representation that we want an Adam Rippon rather than an NPH or a Don Lemon or an Anderson Cooper, etc.
