Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy came out as gay this week, in an interview that prompted an outpouring of support from all corners of the globe.
He's rightfully earned a weekend of celebrations, and celebrate he did at a Halloween party on Friday night - for which he looked to Mean Girls for a little inspiration.
Posing shirtless in jeans with just a pair of mouse ears on and whiskers painted on his face, he looked anything but scary.
He wrote: "Halloween costume party at @theeveryhostess & @wowjeremym‘s house tonight! *Insert applicable Mean Girls quote here: ‘Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears… I’m a mouse. Duh!'"
Explaining his reasoning for coming out, he had said on Instagram: "Part of the reason I had such a difficult time as a kid was that I didn’t know anyone in my position and didn’t have someone to look up to, who’s footsteps I could follow in.
"I hope to be that person for a younger generation, to model honesty and transparency and to show people that there’s nothing cooler than being yourself and embracing the things that make you unique."
Claps for Gus.
