AMERICAN Winter Olympic freeskiing silver medalist Gus Kenworthy, who grabbed headlines last week when he publicly came out as gay, recently shut down a Twitter comment compared his relationship activities to that of a heterosexual couple.
Are you the man or the woman in the relationship? That’s all I need to know right now. https://t.co/9dvbwLBaCX

The homophobic tweet was responded shortly by this comment from Kenworthy:
In a relationship I am the man. As is the other man. I’m gay. Not trying to emulate a heterosexual relationship. https://t.co/AJwyskECWf — Gus Kenworthy (@guskenworthy) October 24, 2015
Since coming out, the Olympian has won the hearts of openly gay actor Ellen Page, and the owner of the LGBTI youth Charity the Happy Hippie Foundation, Miley Cyrus — who who expressed her adoration for Kenworthy on her personal Instagram account:
Linking the five-time world champion’s Instagram account to her own, Cyrus also catapulted Kenworthy’s social media profile:
Halloween costume party at @theeveryhostess & @wowjeremym’s house tonight! *Insert applicable Mean Girls quote here: “Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears… I’m a mouse. Duh!” A photo posted by gus kenworthy (@guskenworthy) on
