Daley’s Diving Disappointment

When I mentioned a gay British Olympian, I bet you all thought I was talking about Tom Daley.  That’s because rumors flying out of Rio claim that the diver secretly married fiancé Dustin Lance Black.  Those rumors started after DLB Tweeted: “3M Finals with Johnny Chaillot.  Watch out #FootballWives, the #DivingHusbands are in the house.”  A swift denial was issued by Daley’s mouthpiece – which I would have thought was DLB!

Although NBC did not acknowledge Dustin Lance Black sitting with Daley’s mom during the synchronized diving at the beginning of the Olympics, they did point him out during the platform diving near the end of the fortnight.  “For three Olympics, we’ve seen Tom Daley with Team Daley.  His mom has been a constant presence.  Now with his fiancé, who Tom refers to as Lance, Dustin Lance Black, Academy Award-winning screenwriter for the very powerful film Milk“.  Who says social media (and Billy Masters) can’t change the world?  Or a Streisand concert?  Nonetheless, it was ultimately a disappointing time in Rio for Daley.  He broke the Olympic record in the platform diving preliminaries, only to finish last in the semifinals the following day.  He vows to come back in four years.
