Gus Kenworthy, the American Olympic freestyle skier, came out publicly only last week – and already had to endure, on Twitter, one of the most annoying questions gay guys have to hear:
“Are you the man or the woman in the relationship? That’s all I need to know right now”
In response, Kenworthy had this to say to the Twitter idiot:
