FIRST.
I LOVE YOU PEREZ. ADD ME ON ICHAT
yay for gay
And we are very proud of him. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi.
Yes in Australia there is no risk of being gunned down over your sexual orientation! Wow…how forward we are!
By the way Perez, as much as we love you down here the comment on Tara Reid being an A-lister seems to have got you in a bit of trouble…Just to clarify, Tara Reid exemplifies the tacky nature of US celebrity, it is for this reason - and no other - that she may appear on Aust. Dancing with the Stars…to demonstrate to our 'A-listers' on what NOT to do. I suppose that is just what we now expect from you guys!
That's sad, i had the biggest crush on him in grade 7. I kissed him playing spin the bottle and he told me i tasted like strawberries. It made me blush
HEY PEREZ WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING UPDATE THIS SITE WITH SOMETHING WORTHWHILE? GEEZ…

Re: Chad –
you can always go somewhere else, dickwad.
I do love my aussies
Re: COURTENEY. –
[B] iM JUST KIDDING Y'ALL. WE'RE ENGAGED!
O.K., he's gay and out and proud…..what does that matter how he performs as an athlete? Gay or straight anyone can perform well as an athlete or in whatever career they choose.
This should also be filed under "Yummy yummy screw" Perez!
What ever happened to the other queen from "Down Under" the swimmer?
Re: Chad – Read his story. He suffered depression (most likely from being closeted and being surrounded by bigots ) and dropped out of his sport for a while. His Partner/ signifigant other was a huge support for him and helped him get back on his feet. He got back into his sport and is now a gold medal hopeful for Australia. COOL story
Re: bitchesizhoes – Greg Luganis was/ is GAY!!! and won the gold in diving for the USA you idiot
I'd like to dive into his midsection
I believe Greg louganis was openly gay when he dived in the olympics for the United States
Now all he has to do is prove that it's not a issue that he's gay and be the best freaking diver there is or the press will just focus on him being gay.
Re: bitchesizhoes – PS Greg Louganis actualy won 1 silver and 2 Gold medals in diving for the USA as a gay man.
Re: Jimmyboyo – excuse me you DUMB FUCKER he said he was the first gay from australia to compete not america, learn how to read dumbass
Who the F cares if he likes male pipe? WHO CARES!!!??!!
Of course in China they may lock his pervert ass up.
thats amazing! hes amazingly hott!
and hell yeah Im so proud to be gay 
about damn time we have some openly gay athletes to show the world that we are not ANY different than all of u heteros! and its about time u give us a shot at marriage! u heteros arent exactly doing a great job! lol
love ya perez!!
i know matt and i have to say he is a nasty horrible person! and hes been out as a homo for years!
not first.
i'm australian and i never heard of him, but anyway.. good luck dude!
welcome to the gaybourhood!
That dude is ridiculously HOT. I can't wait to see him swim
What I meant was: good for him that he came out! Boring "news" story!
OMFG!!! I need his cock in my tight lil cunt……fucking ram it in……just pound my fucking brains out and ill be your dirty lil whore…………shoot that wad in my mouth
Damn you lucky gay men!!!!!!!
why is this a big deal? i'm glad he's happy and all, but it makes no sense to me to celebrate that he is the first gay to compete for Australia in the olympics. you make it sound like it was this big hurdle to overcome in order to compete. it's not like he's the first blind man to compete in the olympics…now that would be something to talk about!
Re: becx – i would love to…….u gotta grind that hairy asshole on my face u nasty bitch
he can dive into my pants any day…he is fucking HOT
YES!!!
Awesome, he is soooo good looking!
Hola Perez…it is a good thing that you help raise the conscience of the public that "underserved populations" are becoming commonplace in American society. Way to go Perezie. And he's totally zexy! But, even if he wasn't he outness should still be recognized.
not true, Ian Thorpe, the Australian swimmer was the first to come out as gay, so this would be inocorrect
THAT'S TOO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.
.
.
.
EVERYONE COME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course he's gay. He is very nearly perfect.
Yay for The Gays, but boo! for us straighties…he's LUSH!!
Damn, I can't believe he's gay, he's cute.
OMG! The deliciousness of it all! His MANHOOD is straining for release from those oh so tight swimbriefs!
go for the gold hotassboy….thats hot
Who gives a crap that he's gay? Honestly, who cares?????? Does it make a difference in how well he swims? THe guy is a potential Olympic athlete? Isn't that enough to identify himself with for now? The gay community wants the straight community to view them jsut as every one else. (My family has always been accepting of all people). But if gays want to be just like everyone else, ehy keep identifying everyone who comes out? Does it really matter??????
FLAWLESS body. So much hotter than those steroid stallions. Good luck Matt, you are a HOTTIE!
Re: Caitlin – Pet, I don't think Thorpie has actually confirmed his sexuality (not that its anyone elses business who he is rooting) As they say you fall in love with a person not their gender…..
I'll do him !
what a good bottom he must be…
i'd have him for dinner any day!
Re: rebster – Rebster you numbnut, learn to read. I responded to a homophobe who said that of course being gay meant he couldn't win. I pointed out That Greg Louganis took 3 metals. Catch up kid, you are lagging behind in 1st grade.
Break me off a piece of that!
He won't be the first openly gay Olympic athlete in Australia. He may be the first to flaunt it…
Not first! Johan Kenkhuis was first. Anyway it's great that professional athletes come out of the closet!
that's gonna be a wee bit awkward in the locker room…
Re: becx – she could ;; but i bet she won,t
This is fantastic. Look at his V. Quarter size tits. Beautiful. Good for him.
Perez, you missed a perfectly good play on words! Come on! It should have been, "Welcome to the GAYborhood."
Re: Chad – Then don't come back asswad!
Re: Cat – That's the whole POINT of coming out, showing every person in all walks of life. As long as there are so many stereotypes (just read about any comments on THIS site) it is necessary to come out. Being gay is one of the very few minorities that can (or HAVE to) pass as something they're not. An African-American, Asian or Hispanic cannot pretend to be Anglo, and WHY should they? There will always be haters but for the rest of us, DIVERSITY RULES!
Re: ghetto.luxury –
And how exactly do you know him? You sound vindictive because you're jealous or something. I've been friends with him for 6 years and he is the sweetest guy I know xx
mmmmmmmm…..that body is SICK!!!
meow!!
too bad i'm the wrong gender, but congrats on being OUT AND PROUD!!
Funny how just a couple of posts ago Perez pissed off A LOT of Aussies with his Tara Reid comment and now he's writing something positive about Australia…damage control Perez??
Sorry Perez but he isn't the first openly gay Aussie Olympian. In the Sydney 2000 Olympics there was a trampolist (think his name was jumping Jay or Jive r somthing like that) that did very well,
Still love ya though
HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE HIM BACK:(
i'd go down on him…
good work champ!
Re: Belle – haha i thought the same thing.
Re: Lauren – oh yeah, Jai Taurima the trampolinist.
haha perez, get it right. a little more sucking up might be in order!
One more sad loss for us girls, but lucky for all the gay guys out there.
Now, when will Ian Thorpe come out?!?
he is actually an amaaaazing diver and i think that him coming out with just benefit him.
Cat person. ILl tell you who cares that hes gay,you. If its a non-issue then a person would think oh cool another postive role model for gays.but you scumbag with your issues cares lots and hates that people are indentified as gay if its a postive thing,well tough luck bitch. When scum like you in the world stop your obsession with gay hate,then being gay wont be an issue.
Re: Jimmyboyo – Fuck this gay white guy.I don't feel sorry for him. Even the gay people are racist. White gays exclude minority gays. Fuck him!!!
Rubbish, Lauren Jackson (female basketball player) has been to the Olympics a couple of times!
Re: Van(Tokyo,Japan) – Fuck who? Who are you talking about? Matt or Perez or Jimmyboyo or someone else?
Re: oh yeah – Hey guys, I'm really surprised how knowledgeable you are on our athletes and how you remember names and everything. Just thought I'd try to 'straighten' some stuff out…
Jai Taurima was the long jumper and Ji Wallace was the Trampolinist. Both won silver in Sydney Olympics, but Jai Taurima is straight (as far as we know!) and yes, Ji Wallace is gay, but not sure if he was open about it AT that Olympic Games.
In any case, it's not really Perez's error if Matt isn't the 'FIRST OPENLY GAY AUSTRALIAN ATHLETE TO COMPETE AT THE OLYMPICS'… he's just reporting the information directly from the Australian tabloids…
Way to go Matty!
Best of luck at the Olympics. Good on him for feeling comfortable enough in the sporting world to come out.
Oh and BTW - Ji Wallace came out after he won the medal at the Sydney Olympics.
I saw him compete in Montreal and he's always smiling. He is def very hot!!
How come all the nice ones are gay or worse married
Gosh, what a suprise!
lovely, wish the other gay athletes would just come out for god's sake, all the divers, obviously the gymnasts, and THORPIE WHY CANT YOU JUST BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AND REPRESENT YOUR PEOPLE…
awesome…I wonder how many more closeted athletes are competng…SO AWESOME TO COME OUT IN ADVANCE>..and he's so cute
wow i think i'm love. i'm no longer boycotting the olympics!!!
