Gay Olympian Gus Kenworthy Pisses Message In Snow

Gary Carnivele February 9, 2026

Deadline reports:

Gus Kenworthy, a freestyle skier who will compete for Team GB at the 2026 Winter Olympics after defecting from Team USA, urinated a political message in the snow. In a post to his 1.2M Instagram followers, Kenworthy — who has forayed into acting with roles in American Horror Story and 80 for Brady — shared a picture with the words, “F*** ice,” in a yellow scrawl in the snow. He later admitted it was urine.

In a message accompanying the post, Kenworthy wrote: “You can call your senator to speak up against ICE and put pressure on them during the current DHS funding negotiations.” Kenworthy was one of the first extreme sports stars to come out as gay and counts Ryan Reynolds among his Instagram followers. Kenworthy recently said he was “so moved” by Heated Rivalry‘s depiction of closeted queer athletes.

Read the full article. Olympians cannot be punished for “political statements” they make on social media. In 2018, Kenworthy was seen giving his boyfriend a quick kiss during live Olympics coverage, spawning the typical rage from the cult. He later refused to visit Trump’s White House with the US team.
