Eric Radford: First Openly Gay Gold Medal Olympian

Canadian Eric Radford becomes the first openly gay man to win gold at the Winter Olympics

“I literally feel like I might explode with pride,” Eric posted on Twitter after the event, which he won with skating partner Meagan Duhamel.

The duo skated to Adele’s “Hometown Glory” on Sunday at Gangneung Ice Arena in Gangneung, South Korea.

“If you have the wrong piece of music and it doesn’t connect with the audience or the judges, it doesn’t really matter how great you skate,” Radford, 33, told CBC Radio. “You’re gonna be missing something.”

Radford also celebrated the achievement with Adam Rippon, Team USA’s first openly gay Winter Olympian. Adam took home the bronze medal for the USA.

It’s been a great last year for Eric. In June 2017, Eric proposed to his boyfriend Luis Fenero (he said yes):

“I’ve learned that the best things in life have a level of simplicity to them. I see it in art, I hear it in music and I feel it with this man. Loving him is simple and beautiful. The feeling of freedom and joy I had flying over the mountains is the same feeling I have when I think of life with @luis_febi …and I want to feel that forever so…

I asked him to marry me and he said yes!!”

About Eric Radford

Eric Radford was born in Winnipeg, Canada on 12/27/1985. He is currently living in Montreal, Canada.

What is he famous for?

Eric Radford is an athlete. He is best known as a Canadian pair skater and for being the first openly gay man to win gold at the Winter Olympics. With partner Meagan Duhamel, he is a two-time world champion, an Olympic gold medalist in the team event, a two-time Four Continents champion, and a Grand Prix Final champion.

Is Eric Radford gay?

Yes, Eric Radford came out as gay in December, 2014. Eric was the first elite figure skater to come out publicly while still competing on the world stage.

He considered revealing his sexuality ahead of the Olympic Games in Sochi, but told Outsports that he was concerned that “I would be known as ‘the gay athlete’ if I came out at the Olympics, rather than Eric the medalling figure skater who happens to be gay.”

“And I felt uncomfortable with that title,” he continued.

But he came close; when a Canadian reporter asked him who was in Sochi to support him, he replied “Oh my family, some friends, and my boyfriend.”

However, the reporter did not include the last piece in her report.

Mature Gay – Am I Too Old to Date?

39

Mature Gay – How can you find a partner in a youth oriented dating scene?

Dear Max,
I am looking for a partner, but I think I am too old to find one.

I am a 64 years old mature gay man and I feel like I no longer have a chance to compete with all the young guys out there.

There is such a focus on youth and fitness in the gay community which makes it hard for older guys like me to find anyone to love. It would be great to find someone to grow old with, because I am tired of being alone.

Do you think there is still hope for me or should I just stop looking?

Thank you,
Mature and Lonely

Related: I Always Seem to End up Alone and Forgotten

Dear Mature and Lonely,
I think that you never get too old for the possibility of finding someone to share your life with.

Life is too beautiful to have no one to share it with and I certainly believe there is always someone out there for everyone.

One of my readers emailed me and said he met his husband when he was 80 years old! He’s now 85.

Keep looking and sooner or later you will find someone who will see how great you are.

A lot of people like older guys so be creative and look on the Internet, chat rooms, dating web sites, bars, social clubs, community groups & even at supermarkets.

There’s even a worldwide organization for older gay men called Prime Timers. They may have a chapter in your area.

Don’t forget to smile and be open to everyone. Not everyone may seem like a good fit right away, but they may grow on you as you get to know them.

Keep your goal in mind that you want to find someone for the long haul and not just someone to jump in bed with for the night.

Good luck!

In his autobiography “Hot Sissy: Life Before Flashbulbs,” Max writes about his teen years.

“It’s a first person, present tense narrative that stumbles from ages fifteen to eighteen dealing with contemporary friendship, bullying, sexual identity, violence, drug abuse, awkwardly risky sex and other downright apocalyptic behavior. Through redneck parties, alternative schools and countless close calls with the police, Hot Sissy deals with the journey of seeking that fast fleeting sense of self-satisfaction and acceptance.”

I Have Been Looking for a Man and Now I Have Two

2

How can you know for sure if the guy you are into is gay or not?

Dear Max,
I have been looking for a guy for some time now and I think I have found two.

I really do not know for sure if they are gay or not though.

The one guy likes to talk to me when his collage friends are not around. He also hits on me when we are alone.

The second guy I met at a church outing. Him and I talked all night about how I grew up and how life is treating me.

The other thing is this guy admits to having a guy relationship.

What am I supposed to do ?

–Danny

Related: Dating Two Guys at Once

Dear Danny,
It sounds like both of them are gay, or at least bi. Straight guys don’t usually admit to having had a relationship with another guy. Or hit on other men, even if they are alone.

So if you are interested in one of them, or both, I think you should just ask them out.

Of course, there are no guarantees that they will say yes but if you don’t take any chances in life you’re not likely to reap any rewards worth having.

And they seem to be pretty open minded so if they happen to be straight, most likely they will just tell you without getting upset.

But it is really all up to you. You are a young gay guy and the whole world is yours for the taking.

If you don’t feel comfortable doing this you can always look for love somewhere else and just keep these two guys as friends. Friendships are important too, you know.

Good luck!

How to Be a Better Boyfriend to Your Man

3

Relationships take work so we put together a few pointers to help you be a better boyfriend to your man

Being a good boyfriend isn’t easy, even if you’re together with an amazing guy.

You need know how to communicate well, and how to be loving and affectionate without being possessive.

A good boyfriend knows how to understand his partner and is able to see the world through his eyes.

Here are a few pointers to help you on your way:

Help build his confidence

It’s important to help your boyfriend feel confident in himself and in your relationship. Let him know that you are his and that you belong together.

Never let him second-guess your intentions by playing games.

Compliment him when he looks good, does nice things for you, or impress you in any way. Confidence is always sexy.

If you don’t want your boyfriend to look his best you probably have ulterior motives and he should run away from you as fast as he can.

Make time for being apart

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re seeing too little of each other but that you’re seeing too much.

It’s easy to get too comfortable together, which may make you forget to keep a healthy relationship with your friends.

Losing your friends is never a good idea as you need the balance so you don’t get overly dependent on each other.

“Codependent relationships signify a degree of unhealthy clinginess, where one person doesn’t have self-sufficiency or autonomy,” says Scott Wetzler, PhD, psychology division chief at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

“One or both parties depend on their loved ones for fulfillment.”

Learn to compromise

Compromise is a big part of any successful and healthy relationship.

If you can’t disagree with your boyfriend without getting into a big fight or without one person always subduing to the other person’s will, then it is not definitely not a healthy relationship.

It’s all about give and take, and about not sweating the small stuff.

A relationship should be about winning together, not about winning over each other.

Make an effort to look at things from your boyfriend’s point of view and make sure to let him have some “victories,” even if you think you’re right.

On the other hand, don’t be a pushover either. Way to many people disappear in their relationship just in order to please their partner.

Hold hands and show some PDA

There are surprisingly many gays who say they do not believe in public display of affection.

It’s doubtful that this is because we are more private than straight folks and more likely that it because we are afraid of the potential for negative attention.

While this is very understandable – and even advisable – in many parts of the world, there are few things hotter than a guy that is so totally into you that he doesn’t care what the world thinks about your love.

It’s very human to wonder how life would be if things were different but if you constantly think about other partner choices, your relationship with your partner will suffer badly.

If you can’t be totally devoted in your current relationship you should end it and move on.

In general, be open and honest about things that bother you but be careful – if you keep coming up with things about your partner that annoys you, your partner is probably not the problem.

It could be you, or it could just be that you’re not a good fit together.

Either way, if this is the case you owe it to both your partner and yourself to make a clean break and start over, either alone or with someone else.
