Adam Rippon and Gus Kenworthy Break the Rainbow Ceiling at the Winter Olympics
The 2018 Winter Olympics are making history for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest stories out of Pyeongchang are the records that openly gay athletes are breaking almost every day. Figure skater Adam Rippon and freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy are the first openly gay men to compete for the U.S. in the Winter Olympics, and they are doing it in style.

Zeigler talks about how incredible it is that Rippon is winning over the hearts of everyone across America while being unapologetically himself.
