Other Gay Issues On The Oprah Show
Greg Louganis is a diver who won five Olympic medals and was the first diver in history to receive a perfect score of ten. Greg is a legend and made waves outside the Olympic pool when he appeared on Oprah’s show and came out as gay in 1995. Greg was the very definition of a “macho” man, and his coming out shocked the country. He also revealed that he is HIV positive, an STI prominent in the gay community that held much social stigma.

The Struggles of Coming Out
When Chris and Joe met, they were head over heels for one another – and though some would say she should not have married Joe if she knew she was a lesbian, it is much more complicated than to just “come out.” Coming out is not a one-time event; if anything, members of the LGBTQ community find that they can, throughout their life, come out multiple times. Chris loved Joe, and together, they had two kids – she knew the risk of coming out but did so knowing the risk was better than not. Chris chose not to become a stat of the negative impacts NOT coming out has.
