When you live authentically as an out and proud LGBTQ person, you not only honor yourself, but you also provide a living example of what others can achieve.
Soren Dahl is doing this, and it’s a delight to watch.Dahl is one of the rare, out, male Olympic athletes. The now-29-year-old Danish Olympic swimmer became better known after the 2016 Olympics, and he’s now living his best gay life on social media.A youth coach once told Dahl that he’d never become an accomplished swimmer if he came out as gay.
In a TikTok video, Dahl mentioned that coach’s discouraging words as Dahl shared images of himself participating in the 2016 Brazilian Summer Olympics — looks like the coach was mistaken.During those Games, Dahl competed in a freestyle team relay, setting a national record for Denmark.
