Figure skater Johnny Weir, who represented the United States in the 2010 Winter Olympics, has criticized Canadian broadcasters Claude Mailhot and Alain Goldberg, who intimated Weir's costumes and "body language" were in bad taste, according to People.com .
The broadcasters also joked that Weir might have to take a gender test like South African runner Caster Semenya did. Weir told reporters, "It wasn't these two men criticizing my skating; it was them criticizing me as a person, and that was something that really, frankly, pissed me off. Nobody knows me. … I think masculinity is what you believe it to be."
Interestingly, out singer Adam Lambert has come to Weir's defense. According to MTV.com, the musician told the entertainment show Access Hollywood, "I'm glad he's a trailblazer. He's comfortable in his own skin, clearly. And he's expressing himself. I think that's what art's all about."
