Two out and proud Olympians, figure skater Adam Rippon and freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, have joined forces in their beliefs that Vice President Mike Pence should not be leading the Olympic delegation next month in South Korea.

Finally, a publication with the courage to say what the rest of us are thinking. Okay, maybe it’s not particularly heavy-hitting. In fact, it might not even be a particularly astute observation. But...
