From Breitbart: Amber Glenn, a figure skater with Team USA in the Winter Olympics, claimed that it had been a “hard time” for the LGBTQ community under the Trump administration.
While speaking to reporters, Glenn claimed that the Trump administration’s policies weren’t “just affecting the queer community, but many other communities,” according to The Blast.
“It’s been a hard time for the community overall and this administration. It isn’t the first time that we’ve had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights,” Glenn told reporters. “And now, especially, it’s not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities.”
Glenn added that communities were “able to support each other in a way that they didn’t have to before.”
“I hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout these games to try and encourage people to stay strong in these hard times,” she continued.
“I know that a lot of people say, you’re just an athlete, like, stick to your job, shut up about politics. But politics affect us all. It is something that I will not just to be quiet about because it is something that affects us in our everyday lives,” Glenn claimed.

Glenn’s comments are being blasted on social media.
“Yeah, it’s like super rough being an American queer. We are oppressed.” – American queer competing at the Olympics.

I’m sure there’s a lot of plumbers out there upset that a figure skater is sad about…. Nothing?

If you look up Amber Glenn you’ll find she supports men in women’s sports.
Well, I don’t support her in the Olympics.

She doesn’t have to
compete if she’s having
such a hard time.
She can protest by sitting
out of the Olympics. 🤷🏼♀️— AmericanWoman_USA (@AmericanwomanU1) February 7, 2026
These people don’t deserve representing our flag. This is appalling.

Why do we give them an opportunity to talk at all? If they aren’t proud to be Americans they shouldn’t be competing. This is ridiculous.

She should speak to @BrandonStraka from #WalkAway or @ScottPresler and see what they think about her claim. *In the meantime, when one competes for America, they should do so with respect to our country and leave politics out of it.

Tell that to @ricgrenell and @SecScottBessent

She’s an idiot and should be kicked off the team. Nothing has happened to the “community”. I am part of the “community” and nothing has changed except my bank account. https://t.co/EEIh0jgxYR

Another young, stupid, immature, irresponsible, entitled & inexperienced person who doesn’t understand what her role is in representing the US. To all the US athletes talking bad about our country & our @POTUS FU! Common sense Americans hope you all come in dead ass last! https://t.co/W1OL1NetjB
