List of LGBT artists at the Olympic Games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 27[lower-alpha 1] Olympic artists who have identified or been identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and/or androgynous, or who had been in a same-sex relationship. The first Olympic Games in which an artist now known to be LGBT+ competed was the 1912 Summer Olympics. The first contemporaneously out LGBT+ artists competed in 1924, with the first LGBT+ Olympic medalist in art winning in 1928.[lower-alpha 1] The artistic events were not contested after 1948.
Not including demonstration events, 5 of the LGBT+ artists won a medal, with another receiving an honourable mention but no medals (24% of LGBT+ artists). None won a gold medal.[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]
