    Congratulations to Matthew!!!!!!!! Truly you did a marvelous job in the last two dives! They were flawless!

    This absolutely gorgeous young man has similar body features to the Thorpedo, {my apologies for the homophobic reference, Matthew}, but much better abs and hips.

    Keep up your wonderful Diving abilities, and continue BECOMING OUR GAY HERO!

    I can hardly wait for the next World Competitions, where you will prove your worth as a Diver. You, after all, have interested the Gay World at least as much as your Canadian Counterpart, Alexandre Despatie. The two of you definitely made this Olympics worth watching, although there were many other divers who are no slouches in their gorgeous bodies either.

    Thanks again, Matthew!!!

    He’s a credit to Australia, his sexual orientation is secondary, yet he’s talented and good enough to represent his country but not good enough to receive the same equal rights as his straight countrymen. Well done, Matthew, you make us all proud!

  10. Matthew you really are a hero! To your country for sure! Also the fact you competed openly, many children growing up, that know they are different, gay and straight, will have hope that just because you are different does not mean you have to hold back your dreams. If they give it all they got, work,work, work, they to can WIN!!

  11. Matthew, you really are a hero, to your country for one, and that you did this openly you are a hero to any children growing up that are feeling they are different, gay and straight alike. If you work hard enough for something, dont let their differences hold them back, they to can WIN!!!

  13. Folks, make sure you Google “Matthew Mitchum” at YouTube and see the video of him being interviewed with his mum and boyfriend. Charming! What a role model for young people, gay and straight. The world is changing.
