An Olympic climber has remained stalwart after receiving a barrage of homophobic comments following the virality of a photo of him celebrating by kissing his boyfriend during the event.
Australia’s Campbell Harrison shared a tender moment with his significant other after qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics in November 2023. The image made his orientation public and prompted trolls to bully him during his participation in the event.
Having failed to advance to the finals of the climbing and lead competition due to finishing in 19th place on Tuesday (August 6), the athlete took to social media to vent his frustrations not only with the result but also with the harassment he has had to endure over the past weeks.
