As the first openly queer woman to represent the U.S. in Olympic figure skating, Amber Glenn’s identity and beliefs have made her a target of intense online harassment.
What should have been a moment of pride and celebration has now turned into a nightmare, as the Olympian revealed the “scary amount of hate/threats” she has been receiving since speaking about LGBTQ+ issues last week.
The backlash has further divided the internet, with some expressing support for Amber and others harshly urging her to leave her beliefs out of the sport.
