n major North American sports — and certainly in Canada, curling is among them — Epping stands alone as an openly gay, star male athlete. He is the only one. unquote.
Too bad that the writer didn't do some more fact checking. Let's start with Mark Tewksbury and a number of figure skaters long before John ( oh that's right I can hear you, Are they sports? ) Also there was a SK curler at the Brier who was gay. Let's get the facts straight sportsnet.
