Its not like the Delegation is made up entirely of Gays. There are 10 people going....3 are gay...and 1 of them came out after being selected (thats the chance you take when selecting a male figure skater )

Of the 3 that are Gay:

Billie Jean King - the fact that she is gay should be moot considering all that she has done for Women and Women's Athletics in this country

Brian Boitano - He was the face of Men's Olympic Figure skating for quite some time and is an Olympic Gold Medalist

Caitlin Cahow - She has 2 Olympic medals in Women's Hockey.

If these 3 weren't gay, would anybody have any problem with them being selected on their own merits?

People should be more upset at the fact that the Media isn't mentioning the other 7 that are going and only fixating on, and making it about, the 3 Gay representatives.
