Woo hoo! BIATHLON has made The Athletic!

“It was 1998, and I was walking home alone after making heart eyes at go-go boys at the Lucky Horseshoe on Halsted Street, Chicago’s main gay strip. The car didn’t slow down. I did, cold with fear but hot from shame for being clocked as not just gay — he got that right — but a fag.”
