The 10 Gayest Things to Happen at Sochi

As spotted by our friends over at Whitelines, Cheryl Maas became the first athlete to stage a protest in support of the LGBT community in Sochi when she pushed her rainbow gloves into the camera after her second run in the women’s Snowboard Slopestyle qualifiers on Thursday.

Maas, representing the Netherlands, is a happily married lesbian and is one of only six out athletes in Sochi. The message was pretty clear for all to see, we hope it encourages other athletes to make a stand.
