Category:LGBT Olympians

This is to serve as the master list until entries have been migrated both into the category, and article, or removed for bias that all are assumed to be heterosexual until proven otherwise. Eventually this list will only be those who need research confirming they are indeed appropriate for the category, or removed as investigated but not enough sourcing for now.

  • UPDATE, 144 people are in the parent category Category:LGBT Olympians, leaving 23 that either don't have articles at all (13), or need a reference added and mention of them being LGBT to their article (10). The list is still not complete as I'm still cross-referencing several other lists that have been compiled by others. Sportfan5000 (talk) 09:40, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Finished 8th in the Sydney Games. It seemed like forever before I found any role models that showed me it was ok to be gay and be an aspiring international athlete as well.

Paul O'Brien (equestrian)

"New Zealander Blyth Tait was one of the best known riders. At his first Olympics in 1992 he won 4 medals. His partner was Paul O’Brien. The pair met in the UK where they both went to train. The Sydney Olympics looked good for Blyth and Paul. Blyth was chosen as team captain and carried their national flag at the opening ceremony. Unfortunately, his first horse died in quarantine and both his 2nd horse and Paul’s horse were withdrawn injured. The best result either of them reached was 8th place in the 3-day event team competition. After Sydney they kept up their Olympic connection – Blyth was equestrian team manager in 2004 and Paul was an Olympic selector."

Rafael Polinario

needs everything Rafael Polinario

"Of course, Communist-run countries didn’t boycott the games – except China. In the Cuban swimming team was Rafael Polinario, a member of the national team since he was 14. Although he finished 11th in Moscow he won gold medals in the 100m and 200m freestyle at the Pan-American Games in Cuba in 1982. Rafael’s life follows that of many gay men in that period. He lived in an environment where his sexuality could be a reason used against him to prevent him from competing. Being a high profile celebrity in Cuba he hid his sexuality by marrying a Cuban national synchronised swimmer and fathering a daughter, Ann. Rafael and his wife separated soon after Ann was born, and after the Cuban head coach questioned his association with various “anti-socials and homosexuals” Rafael decided to defect. This he did in Canada. Continuing to swim and coach once asylum was granted Rafael joined Toronto’s gay swim and water polo teams which competed at the first World Outgames in Montréal in 2006. Through coaching his disabled daughter Ann, Rafael had an opportunity to coach swimmers for future Olympics." - Olympic Pride: The History of LGBT Participation in the Olympics daughter is Anne making him the only known LGBT Olympian who is a parent of another LGBT Olympian
