I forgot to blog it at the time, but I was extremely proud when Matthew Mitcham of Australia--who is openly gay--won Olympic gold last week in the men's 10-meter platform dive. Matt's sexual orientation was not mentioned by NBC. Heck, they hardly showed his almost flawless dives until he started climbing the leader board. Too bad the rainbow flag couldn't have been a raised along with the Australian flag when he was presented with his medal!
