Out Figure skater Colin Grafton Bulges In His Undies
Hailing from Boston originally, out figure skater and performer Colin Grafton has been making us swoon from his social media for a while now. Although he had been out to his friends and family and didn't really hide his sexuality, he did come out publicly this last year in an interview with Pink News. He wanted to come out to be a role model for younger athletes who might be in the closet.

Colin knew he wanted to be a figure skater from an early age. He applied himself and qualified for Team USA, winning the bronze at the Junior US Championships in 2012. A year later Colin retired from competitive skating and toured and coached, becoming a professional performer. He appeared on Great Britain’s Dancing on Ice - their version of Dancing with the Stars - as an ensemble skater. After one season, he was paired with Drag Race UK star The Vivienne, placing third.

Since coming out officially, Colin has become very comfortable in front of the camera, and we aren't complaining one bit! Tighty whities? Yes, please!

He says that his busy skating career had kept him from dating until he was 24. We are sure he gets plenty of offers. He now calls London home and continues work as a professional performer.
Colin also knows just how to celebrate grey sweatpants season. Woof!

Collin is just part of the growing number of athletes who have come out. This past Summer Olympics saw the highest number of out athletes ever. The tide is changing and sports is just getting a bit more queer every year.
