Pop! Quiz: When is a gold-medal-winning gay diver not a gay diver?

When he's written about on Fox Sports, apparently!

Sorry if we're a little Matthew Mitcham-happy today, but it's pretty exciting to have one of the biggest surprise wins of the 2008 Olympics be by the only out gay male athlete in the games. Unless, of course, the media doesn't decide to mention that historic point.

In an odd turn, the Australian branch of FOX's sports website has removed the words "openly homosexual" from its write-up about local hero — and open homosexual — Matthew Mitcham, who celebrated his win on-camera with his partner, whom he mentioned by name as his partner. (If you have the time and the patience for exceedingly small-minded commentary, read the user comments below the story to get an idea of what happened ... and t/y Wayman for the tip.)

Then there's the question of why NBC opted to not cover this particular aspect of Mitcham's story, which you can read more about here.

Soooooo ... today's Pop! Quiz is:

When should "openly gay" be part of the story?

Let us know what you think in the poll...
