U.S. figure skater Adam Rippon emerged as a fan favorite during the 2018 Winter Olympics. People fell in love with Adam because of the artistic beauty of his routine, his honesty and, of course, his hilarious tweets.

And even though the first openly gay athlete to ever qualify for the US Winter Olympic team is coming home with a bronze medal, his Twitter game proves he has a golden personality. From dealing with haters to funny offstage pics from the Olympics, his feed offers a huge variety of posts for internet users with a different taste in content.

Nothing like using your haters for motivation, because nothing burns a bully more than seeing you brush it off and win
This guy is my soul mate. We need to be BFFs. Taco Bell puts twinkling lights in my eye as well!
Probably because he has been mocked a lot by heterosexuals and this society that always shame guys for not acting "mainly" enough, like in his case for chosing ice skating and not american football. Didn't you reed the previous tweet about his "haters", about the people wishing him to fail because he's gay? If you're not homophobic then you don't have to feel target. It's just like when a woman says that she's been harassed by men. You don't have to play the #notallmen. Women know this.But enought men have problematic behaviour that every women on earth had experienced it. Well, I guess all the hating message he recieved were sent by sooooo proud heterosexuals. Maybe you should aim your message about the not rubing in anyone's face to those hating people, don't you think?

Lakewood, CA...we live in the same city...hmmm... I did not know that.
So when he was talking about his blades, was he talking about his skates or his jaw bone?
We're all here for you and we will stand by you till the end against all the homophobia and discrimination. (Whispers: f**k mike pence)
People act like he is the first flaming gay skater we've had. Doesn't anyone remember Rudy Galendo (spelling?)?? He was FABULOUS.
F*****G GOD DAMMIT I JUST GOT THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD AFTER BEING MADE TO HEAR IT 5 YEARS AGO!! Day ruined.
Which blades though? He's so perfect that Michelangelo could've sculpted him!
Sometimes I click on the hidden comments that say mean things just so I can downvote them again. Am I a bad person? PS. I love Adam!
WOW! Loving all the love here, but hating all the hate. Celebrate who he is, a very funny, very talented Olympic skater! Is that not enough? If you don't agree with who he sleeps with, then maybe don't bring it up? Like even if you disagree with his choices, it his choice not yours to make.
How's he getting written into history as the first day in winter Olympics? I've been watching figure skating for decades and he sure as hell ain't the first.
Very inspiring... and so confident! Thought his name was Adam Ribbon initially, but wow! What a man!
oh, me too... maybe because he's cute like a button too *i don't know what i'm even saying anymore heavy blushing*

I don't get the victimhood thing from Rippon. Also, I don't think that any politically-fueled, snarky remark wins anyone over, to any side. What you get is a divide, and that has not worked for anyone shouting a stupid mantra... so, go MAGA yourself (or Yes, We Can, or Today For A Better Tomorrow, or other nonsense). I don't think Rippon is all that great, save for a few points... he certainly doesn't speak for me, but that's idealistic youth for ya. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to become a poster-boy for gay folk. That wouldn't be bad (!), he is easy on the eyes, and he can be the role model for many who think they are alone or unworthy just because they like men. I'd then wish for compassion to gay-unfriendly cavemen, but... you can't have it all, right?

You win Olympic gold for being needlessly negative! How does it feel?

Is that what you say when you look in the mirror each morning?
