Olympic Games Gold Medallist Kerron Clement Comes Out

Olympic Games gold medallist Kerron Clement opened up about his sexuality, came out and stated he was “tired of loving in the dark”, ‘Gay Times’ report. 

“I was hiding that part because of what society thought,” Kerron told Outsports.

“But it’s OK to be that way. Nothing is wrong with loving someone of the same gender. Love is love. I have an attraction to men. It’s who I am and it’s what made me become the athlete I am today.

“People should learn how to say ‘fuck what everybody else thinks.’ As I’ve gotten older I started caring less and less, and now in my 30s I thought it’s time to finally be free. Plain and simple.”




He continued, “I appreciate the hard times I went through when people made fun of me. It made me stronger,” he continued.

“When they said things behind my back, it made me have a tough skin and a backbone, and it made me work hard on the track. And I performed because I had something to prove. That’s what made me become an Olympic champion.”
