Dutch Gymnast Jeffrey Wammes Vaults Out Of The Closet

Rod2.0 points us to another in the slowly growing list of professional athletes coming out. This time it's Dutch gymnast Jeffrey Wammes, who's on the cover of this month's Linda magazine. It's a special edition focused on gays in sports, and Jeffrey felt it was the perfect opportunity to officially come out:

“There was already a lot of speculation about whether or not I fell for boys or girls. To me it has nothing to do with sport or how I perform. But when I was asked to do this, I made it clear straight away how things were and that’s that.”

Apparently, this is getting an enormous amount of attention in the Dutch press, and we'd love to hear from our Dutch readers about it. How is the news being handled?

Congrats to Jeffrey for coming out, and with his amazing body and athletic talent, the 24- year-old will hopefully vault to stardom soon.
