From AP:

U.S. men's figure skater Johnny Weir says he was 'frankly, pissed' upon learning that the two French-language commentators questioned his gender and made other jibes during his Olympic skating performances last week. (Feb. 24)

1. Well done! He made them look all the worse. Now, I wish he'd have a sit down with Adam Lambert! nt

4. Why would it benefit him to have a sit down with Lambert?
He seems quite capable of fending for himself-- quite capable.

3. GO JOHNNY!
I love love love this guy, exactly because he choses to be who he is and makes no bones about it! :loveya: He is a perfect example of the importance of allowing a child to be who they are and allowed to flourish.

(I found his free skate performance to be more compelling to watch than the eventual medalists.)
