National Championships with another milestone — coming out.While the 22-year-old champion skater was never closeted to friends and family, he told Outsports he avoided coming out publicly for fear of encountering negative stigmas about gay men in athletics.“I think I’ve kind of always had that at the back of my mind,” McDermott-Mostowy said.
