Figure Skater Adam Rippon DRAGS Homophobe on Twitter!

Figure skater and all around good guy Adam Rippon made history as being the first openly gay man to qualify for the US Winter Olympic team.

Although he came out nearly three years ago in 2015, it's been brought back to life as he will be representing our country as an out and proud gay man next month in Pyeongchang, South Korea. 

Of course, there are still those awful homophobes out there who make terrible comments behind the safety of their keyboards, but Adam isn't having it at all.

A user with the handle @skizm77 (21 followers, nice) responded to a @twittermoments tweet about Adam being the first openly gay man to qualify for the US Winter Olympics team, saying "So is he skating with the women?"

Adam's response was short, sweet, but got to the point: "With your mom."

Of course, he furthered this sort of ridiculousness with a pinned tweet about being a gay athlete in sports and how there's really only one difference.

Nice work, Adam.  And good luck next month!
