Athlete		Country	Sport	Games	Medal(s)	Notes
	Robert de Montesquiou Δ	France	Equestrian	1900		Montesquiou was a "notorious homosexual", [2] with this influence discussed, though he may have lived a chaste life. [3] He won a bronze medal in the Hacks and hunter combined equestrian event in 1900; [4] prior to 1996, the event was not consistently considered to have been truly Olympic, but is since included. [5] [6] Around the time of his Games appearance in 1900, Montesquiou was noted to feel stifled by the aristocracy he had been born into, which was "fundamentally conservative". [7]
	Niels Bukh	Denmark	Gymnastics	1908, 1912		Bukh was selected to the 1908 Olympic team, but did not compete, and then was coach of the gold-medal winning 1912 gymnastics team. He was out, though not widely; he was outed internationally by a former partner after expressing support for the Nazis. In part, his support came from Adolf Hitler being a personal fan and inviting Bukh to be part of his propaganda (displaying the ideal male aesthetic) for the 1936 Games in Berlin. His biographers suggest that, despite his support for the party; the German occupation of Denmark; and the outing, Bukh never knew of the Nazi stance on homosexuality. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
	Leif Rovsing	Denmark	Tennis	1912		Rovsing was openly gay within his sport and this was accepted; the Danish Football Association, which administed tennis at the time, however, felt his sexuality was at conflict with the working-class ideals of their sport, and in 1917 used evidence of other men visiting Rovsing's home to ban him from competing. The ban was rescinded but reinstated in the 1920s, saying that his "opinions and conduct" were the reason for the ban, which then extended to being excluded from some locker and shower rooms. [14] [15]
	Fritzi Löwy	Austria	Swimming	1928		Described as "reportedly bisexual" during her career, Löwy remained unmarried. [16]
	Otto Peltzer	Germany (Weimar Republic)	Athletics	1928, 1932		Peltzer was openly gay, [17] though this was not widely known. [8] In the 1930s, he was arrested by the Nazis for his homosexuality. Sentenced to 18 months in prison, he was released early on the condition that he renounce his involvement in sports. He did but, ultimately, was imprisoned in Mauthausen concentration camp until its liberation in 1945. [18] [19] [20] [21]
	Babe Didrikson Zaharias	United States	Athletics	1932		Won two gold medals and one silver medal in one Olympic Games. [22] [23] Though she did not identify her sexuality, Didrikson Zaharias was described as a lesbian. As her marriage deteriorated in the 1950s, she became intimate with Betty Dodd, who moved into Didrikson's home towards the end of her life. [24] [25] [26] [27]
	Helen Stephens	United States	Athletics	1936		Stephens had a long-time female partner. [15] [28] [29] At the 1936 Games, she and rival Stella Walsh were accused of being men. Rudimentary sex verification checks were carried out; Stephens reported that Hitler himself "[took] hold of [her] fanny" to affirm she was a woman, [30] [31] which she was (an autopsy would show that Walsh was intersex). [32]
	Marjorie Larney	United States	Athletics	1952, 1956		[15]
	Susan McGreivy	United States	Swimming	1956		Following her Olympics competition, McGreivy became a lesbian activist. She also helped to defend the Gay Games in front of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee. [33] [34]
	Ronald Robertson	United States	Figure skating	1956		Robertson was openly gay in his personal life. He won a silver medal at the Olympics, [35] and semi-retired the following year to open a hotel with his partner, actor Tab Hunter. [36] [37]
	Norman Elder	Canada	Equestrian	1960, 1968		Elder was known to be gay within his community for many years but was widely outed in the 1990s after being charged with indecent assault allegations relating to instances of gay sex in the 1970s. After serving a prison sentence, he fell into poverty and subsequently killed himself in 2003. [38]
	Marion Lay	Canada	Swimming	1964, 1968		Lay competed in two Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal in 1968. [39] After competing, Lay came out as a lesbian, and has contributed to supporting LGBT issues in sport, including organizing Pride Houses. [40]
	Ondrej Nepela	Czechoslovakia	Figure skating	1964, 1972		Nepela competed at two Olympic Games, winning a gold medal in 1972. [41] [42] He was gay and, in 1973, had a brief relationship with Canadian figure skater Toller Cranston. [43] In 1989 he died from complications relating to AIDS. [44]

	John Curry Δ	Great Britain	Figure skating	1976		Curry won the gold medal at his Olympic Games, a few days after being outed in a magazine which had interviewed him; [59] there are conflicting reports about whether Curry intended to come out. He confirmed his sexuality (gay) in press interviews upon winning. [60] The BBC have reported that Curry had believed he had spoken to the initial reporter off the record, and that the outing and having to give the press conference afterwards affected him greatly. [61] He died of complications relating to AIDS in 1994; [62] after Curry announced he had AIDS in 1992, revelations of other skaters who had died from the disease were made, and figure skating associations began providing AIDS education to its athletes.

Intersex athletes

Athlete		Country	Sport	Games	Medal(s)	Notes
	Stanisława Walasiewicz (a.k.a. Stella Walsh)	Poland	Athletics	1932, 1936		Won a gold medal in 1932 and a silver medal in 1936. An autopsy discovered that Walsh was intersex and experienced mosaicism; it was determined she likely did not know, and her achievements have not been expunged. [32] [596] [597] [598] [599] [600]
	Heinrich Ratjen	Nazi Germany	Athletics	1936		Ratjen's sex characteristics were ambiguous from birth. Though he was raised as female, and for many years competed as "Dora Ratjen" (including at the Olympics), he said he was conscious that he was somewhat biologically male from childhood. In 1938, he was arrested and held in Hohenlychen Sanatorium for a year, being examined by SS doctors who found Ratjen to have some intersex characteristics (not just male genitalia). Upon release, he was ordered to stop participating in sport and to assume a male identity. In later life, however, Ratjen (likely erroneously) claimed that the Nazis had ordered him to pose as female in order to bring sporting glory to the nation at their home Olympics. [601] [602] [603]
	Ewa Kłobukowska	Poland	Athletics	1964		Kłobukowska won a gold and a bronze medal at the Olympics. [604] She is intersex Barr body-positive, which would not preclude her from competing in women's sports. An inadequate sex verification test following her Olympic success saw her stripped of her titles and banned from competition; though later corrected, none of her achievements have been reinstated. [605] [606] [607] [608] [609]
	Edinanci Silva Δ	Brazil	Judo	1996, 2000, 2004, 2008		Silva was born intersex but had surgery in the 1990s to allow her to compete in women's sport, before any Olympics appearance. She went on to compete at four Games. [83] [600]
	Francine Niyonsaba Δ	Burundi	Athletics	2012, 2016, 2020		Niyonsaba won silver in the 800 m race in 2016; unable to contest this event at the 2020 Games due to restrictions, she qualified and competed in the 10,000 m race. [610] Her intersex condition was revealed upon the ruling in 2019. [611]
	Caster Semenya Δ	South Africa	Athletics	2012, 2016		Semenya is an intersex woman with XY chromosomes; she also has a wife. [404] She has been subject to sex verification testing since the start of her professional career in 2009, at different times being allowed and disallowed to compete in events. A successful intersex sportswoman, she has been the focal point of debates and regulation regarding both intersex and trans athletes in the 21st century. She has refused to take hormone medication to reduce her natural testosterone, as instructed in 2019. [612] [613] She continues to mount legal battles against discriminatory athletic bodies. [614]
	Dutee Chand Δ	India	Athletics	2016, 2020		Chand experiences hyperandrogenism and is a lesbian. [450] [449] In 2014, her elevated testosterone caused the Indian Athletics Federation to remove her from its programme and ban her from events. She appealed to higher athletic bodies, which overturned the ban. [615] [616] [617] As a sprinter, she was unaffected by the 2019 restrictions on intersex characteristics in middle distance events; she offered the services of her legal team to Caster Semenya. [618]
	Margaret Wambui	Kenya	Athletics	2016		Wambui has elevated testosterone levels, as revealed upon the intersex restriction ruling in 2019; refusing to take medication to reduce this, she was barred from competing in the 2020 Games. She has proposed athletic bodies introduce an open category to be inclusive of intersex athletes if they insist on the separation. [610] [611] [619]
	Aminatou Seyni Δ	Niger	Athletics	2020		Seyni primarily contests sprint distances, but also ran 800 m sporadically and 400 m regularly until 2019, when she was told she had tested positive for intersex characteristics and would be unable to race middle distance. She ran in the 200 m event, a distance over which she holds the Nigerien national record, at the 2020 Games. [610] [620]

LGBTQ artists

Artist		Country	Category	Games	Medal(s)	Notes
	Gabriele D'Annunzio	Kingdom of Italy	Literature	1912		Despite being reportedly physically off-putting, D'Annunzio was such a charming man he attracted everyone, including lesbians and Robert de Montesquiou, and was open to all lovers. [2] Besides competing in 1912, he was a judge for the same event in 1924. [621]
	Fanie Eloff	Union of South Africa	Sculpture	1924		Eloff's sexuality was made public after his contribution to the Games, when his series of sculptures of nude dancers led to outcry, further inspection, and then his shunning from South African society. [622]
	Vincenzo Gemito Δ	Fascist Italy	Sculpture	1924		Gemito was known to be gay among fellow artists from his early days, and the homoeroticism in his drawings supposedly made it obvious to everyone else. Between being an orphan denied of a heteronormative family, and his growing prominence in society from his success in sculpting, he attempted to steer his personal and professional circles to appear straight; doing so reportedly drove him insane, and he spent two decades in and out of asylums before being finally released in 1909. Unlike his partner Antonio Mancini, who had also been sent to an asylum, Gemito managed to have a career after his release, though it was made clear that he could no longer create homosexual art if he wished to be prominent. [623] At the 1924 Games, he entered seven pieces into the sculpture competition and was also a judge of it; none of his pieces placed. [624]
	Robert Graves Δ	Great Britain	Literature	1924		Graves was openly bisexual, having intense relationships with men and (often masculine) women. In the 1920s, he lived in polyamorous groups. [625] [626] In his 1929 autobiography, Good-Bye to All That , he described himself as "pseudo-homosexual", and suggested that all-male public schools were the cause. [627] His father-in-law, William Nicholson, was a 1928 gold medalist in graphic arts. [628]
	Henry de Montherlant	France	Literature	1924		Montherlant was said to have kept his homosexuality a secret during his life, despite a same-sex relationship in his youth leading to his expulsion from his Catholic school, [629] and this incident being dramatised by Montherlant himself as the play La Ville dont le prince est un enfant . [630] He also detailed his homosexual interests in a long-withheld autobiography. [631]
	Arno Breker	Germany (Weimar Republic) /   Nazi Germany	Sculpture	1928, 1936		Originally labelled Degenerate, [632] Breker came to be Hitler's favourite sculptor; the Nazi state sculptor; and one of the select artists on the Gottbegnadeten list. His 1936 silver medal-winning statue of a decathlete still stands outside the Olympiastadion. [633] [634] Breker's art, predominantly male nude sculptures, was used by the Nazis to propagate the concept of German physical superiority, despite the statues being greatly homoerotic and the Nazi official stance against homosexuality. [635] His artwork not produced for the Nazis comprised many busts of other gay artists, including Jean Cocteau, [635] [636] a close friend, who wrote that Hitler saw Breker as a son. [637] [638] Breker was reportedly closeted. After World War II, he rejected Nazism. [639] [633]
	Ludwig von Hofmann	Germany (Weimar Republic)	Painting and graphic art	1928		Considered iconic of homosexual artists of his time, Hofmann married a female cousin and so may have been bisexual. [640] [641]
	Anna Hyatt Huntington	United States	Sculpture	1928		For some time lived with Brenda Putnam. [642]
	Mainie Jellett	Irish Free State	Painting and graphic art	1928		Jellett's relationship with Evie Hone was dramatised in the 2020 play Female Nude Seated. [643] [644]
	Janet Scudder	United States	Sculpture	1928		Scudder lived the last years of her life with her female partner. [645] [646] She had been good friends with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. [647]
	Renée Sintenis Δ	Germany (Weimar Republic)	Sculpture	1928, 1932		Sintenis won the bronze medal in the 1928 statue sculpting competition; though not an athlete, she was the first known out queer Olympic medalist. [8] [9] Best known for creating the Golden Bear, she was a popular socialite in inter-war Europe and famous for her androgyny; for this and her Jewish heritage, she was persecuted under the Nazi regime. [648] [649] [650] [651] Art scholar Nina Lübbren has suggested that Sintenis may have consciously performed masculine gender to be accepted as a sculptor, [652] though it is typically acknowledged that androgynous gender was part of the Neue Frau ideal Sintenis embodied. [648] [652] [653] Scholar Kocku von Stuckrad wrote that Sintenis "playfully evaded prescribed gender roles." [654] She married artist Emil Rudolf Weiß and, after his sudden death, had a lifelong relationship with a woman, Magdalena Goldmann. [655] Sintenis and Weiß rarely collaborated, most famously doing so to produce drawings and typeface, respectively, for a collection of Sappho poetry. [656] Weiß is said to have "tolerated" Sintenis' queerness later in their marriage. [648] He also entered the 1928 Olympics. [657] Julie Nero wrote that Sintenis avoided depicting gender, even in her sculptures of athletes (one of which won her the Olympic medal), due to her sexuality. [658]
	Ángel Zárraga	Mexico	Painting and graphic art	1928, 1932		[659]
	Thomas Eakins	United States	Painting and graphic art	1932		Art scholarship debates whether Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer, whose artwork is often discussed together, identified as homosexual. [660] William S. McFeely wrote that, amidst the debate, there is little doubt that Eakins was attracted to men. [661] Eakins and Homer both died before their work was submitted to the Olympics, and as such it was not considered officially in competition. [662] [663]
	Beatrice Fenton	United States	Sculpture	1932		[664] [665]
	Harriet Whitney Frishmuth	United States	Sculpture	1932		While Frishmuth was not open about her sexuality in press interviews of the day, archival records document that she was a lesbian, her partner Ruth Talcott having lived with her from the 1940s until Frishmuth's death in 1980. [666]
	Winslow Homer	United States	Painting and graphic art	1932		Art scholarship debates whether Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer, whose artwork is often discussed together, identified as homosexual. [660] Debate continues as to Homer's sexuality [667] [668] [669] and academic tendencies to not acknowledge it (likened to Michelangelo), [670] with scholar Philip Beam suggesting that Homer simply was not interested in relationships. [671] Eakins and Homer both died before their work was submitted to the Olympics, and as such it was not considered officially in competition. [662] [663]
	Brenda Putnam	United States	Sculpture	1932		For some time lived with Anna Hyatt Huntington. [642] [672] [673]
	Carl Sprinchorn	United States	Painting and graphic art	1932		[674] [675]
	Harald Kreutzberg Δ	Nazi Germany	Dance	1936	[lower-alpha 6]	Harald Kreutzberg and Mary Wigman competed in the dance demonstration event, winning medals. [1] [676] Kreutzberg was openly gay [677] and had "androgynous aspects". [678]
	Jan Parandowski	Poland	Literature	1936		[679]
	Milly Steger	Nazi Germany	Sculpture	1936		[652] [680]
	Mary Wigman	Nazi Germany	Dance	1936	[lower-alpha 6]	Harald Kreutzberg and Mary Wigman competed in the dance demonstration event, winning medals. After the Games, the Nazis had no more use for Wigman, and she was included in the artists labelled Degenerate. [1] [676] Dance scholars and Wigman's biographers have written on her relationship with Berthe Trümpy and possible bisexuality, and agree that being the object of same-sex desire had a great impact on her work. [681]
	Delmar Banner	Great Britain	Painting and graphic art	1948		Banner was gay, which he revealed to his wife shortly after they married; they adopted two sons together. [682]
	Walter Battiss	Union of South Africa	Painting and graphic art	1948	[lower-alpha 9]	A large number of letters written by Battiss and discovered posthumously reveal his longstanding bisexuality, and "gravitation towards homosexuality in his later years". [683]
	Roy De Maistre	Great Britain	Painting and graphic art	1948		Described as "a homosexual of extreme discretion". [684]
	Eleuter Iwaszkiewicz	Poland	Literature	1948	[lower-alpha 9]	Iwaszkiewicz' lyric work received an "honourable mention" at the Games. He dedicated it to Paul Claudel. [685] Iwaszkiewicz is modernly considered bisexual, and there are strong homoerotic themes in his work; he had a wife and children, who knew of his orientation, and described himself as homosexual. [686]
	Ernst van Heerden Δ	Union of South Africa	Literature	1948		Van Heerden won his medal for a set of Afrikaans poems. An openly gay academic, he was best known for his sports poetry. [687]
