With the Olympic Games there are always the firsts. 1900 saw women compete for the first time. 1924 saw the first Winter Olympics. 1960 saw electronic computers used for the first time. And 2010 is no exception, with the Vancouver Winter Olympics the first year with Pride Houses - venues in Vancouver and Whistler open to gay and lesbian athletes, coaches, family, friends and their allies.

In 2001, a year before his Olympic hopes were dashed due to injury, elite snowboarder Ryan Miller came out to the competitive snowboard world during a trip to Vancouver. Eight years later, with the Vancouver Winter Olympics just a month away, we caught up Ryan in his hometown of Denver, Colorado where he is still very much connected to the snowboard world with Outboard, the world’s largest gay and lesbian snowboard organization.
Named one of “100 Most Influential Gays and Lesbians” in 2001 by Advocate after his coming out, Ryan talks to us about snowboarding, coming out, being gay in a competitive sports environment and even Star Wars.
