Last December, Johnny was part of a CNN panel focusing on LGBT issues. Emory University finally released the video!
This is how I fell in love in two and a half minutes. In a system where the men’s figure skating world was (and still is) becoming ever more chest beating, quad jumping, and hypermasculine, Johnny Weir brought back a measure of artistry that I feel had been lost on the men’s side. The first time I saw him perform this routine, I thought he skated like a girl and meant that as the highest form of compliment.
For all the drama that surrounds him, all the feuds, the over the top personality, you have to give him credit. He gave a giant Fuck You to a system that tried time and time again to push him out; instead he took national championships and became a two time Olympian. He gave a giant Fuck You to the USFSA who made no bones about not liking him, and forced them to swallow back their own hypocritical internalized homophobia because he refused to change who he was to fit their idea of what a modern, “sell-able” male figure skater should be. He has changed and continues to change the entire field, where gay skaters were marginalized or forced to stay in the closet until after their careers were over, so that future gay skaters perhaps won’t have to deal with the vitriolic treatment he has faced from commentators, analysts, and the USFSA itself. So while you may cringe at his over the top performances to Lady Gaga in a corset and pink feather boa, you have to respect that he’s changed the sport. Giving the USFSA a shove into the 21st century can only be a good thing. Because it’s pretty fucking sad that Hockey has embraced the ethos of “if you can skate, you can skate. If you can play, you can play” before FIGURE SKATING.
^^^^^^^^^ All of this. So. Much.

When not astounding us on the ice, working the catwalk, designing clothes, recording music, or on TV, the multi-talented and super-fabulous Johnny Weir is the center of attention wher-ever he is. And all eyes will again be on Johnny on Sunday, June 12, as the 2011 LA PRIDE Parade Grand Marshal.
Johnny is world renowned for his talent on the ice. One of the superstars in the sport of figure skating, and an emerging pop-culture icon, fans all over the world love his elegant, edgy style and the delicious unpredictability of never knowing what he’ll say, wear or do next.
