As I draft this post, the 2018 Winter Olympics are underway with the U.S.’s first two openly gay athletes; Gus Kenworthy and Adam Rippon.

A few years back, I decided to open my life and truly live freely. I was tired of assuming I couldn’t because of what my family or society would think. I’ve been unburdened by the fear, the loathing and the discontent.
Freedom of choice, of religion, of speech, of LOVE. These are not questionable but immutable. They are what separate us from dictatorships, tyranny, hate and violence.
You have the right to live freely; to be happy with who you are and what you contribute to the world. Embrace and cherish as billions of others around the world aren’t afforded the same.
