Gus Kenworthy tells Mike Pence: 'Eat your heart out'

Freeskier Gus Kenworthy and figure skater Adam Rippon, the first two openly gay men to represent the U.S. in the Olympics, posed for a picture at the opening ceremony. It's a powerful photo for what it represents in the barriers the two men are breaking.

The #OpeningCeremony is a wrap and the 2018 Winter Olympic Gaymes are officially under way! I feel incredibly honored to be here in Korea competing for the US and I'm so proud to be representing the LGBTQ community alongside this amazing guy! Eat your heart out, Pence.
