The Olympics Were Gaytastic (Even if Putin didn't want it that way)

It's been a while, almost a month in fact, that I have posted here. There was this thing called the Olympics and my poor time management skills that got in the way of me posting. Even though the Olympics were shadowed by the fact that Putin is a (insert insult here) I still enjoyed them. After all team lesbian/bisexual won 6 medals! Most of them were by Ireen Wust, the crushworthy Dutch speed skater. 2 golds and three silvers? That's awesome.

Her hotness is stopping me from thinking of a good caption.

Then there was Daniela Iraschko-Stolz, an Austrian who won the silver in the Ladies Normal Hill Individual. It's just a stupid way of saying Women's Ski Jumping. I don't know why it's called that because ski jumping isn't really something I would call normal. It's not like you say, "Hey Ed! I'm going to go jump from this hill thingy going really high up in the air. You know like everyone does." Daniela is in a civil partnership as there is no marriage equality in Austria. I'm personally happy for her because this is the first time that Women's Ski Jumping has been an offical Olympic event. That means Daniela is in the record books and not in a place that is forgotten.

Here's Daniela with her wife Isabela. Aren't they the cutest?

I also have to give props to Bella Brockhoff who went to 8th place in the Women's Snowboard Cross. There isn't anything more badass than a woman snowboarding.

I'm going to move to Australia now.

Both AutoStraddle and After Ellen have articles on these awesome women that you should check out if you're curious. I didn't mention everyone so make your way to those sites because they're awesome.
