In a move interpreted as a protest of Russia's antigay laws, neither the president, the vice president, nor their wives will be in the U.S. delegations to Sochi, but some out athletes will.

Legendary tennis star and former Olympic coach Billie Jean King, an out lesbian, will be part of the opening ceremony's delegation. Caitlin Cahow, a two-time Olympic medalist in ice hockey who recently came out as lesbian, will be at the closing ceremony.

Good.   I would have been really disappointed if they went.
