The gold medalist spoke exclusively with Us Weekly at the GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday, March 5, about fellow athletes choosing not to visit The White House.
Most notably, the Team USA women's hockey team declined Trump's invitation following their gold medal win. This came after a controversy surrounding a locker room video of the men's team that showed President Trump on the phone mocking the women's team. However, USA Hockey released a statement saying the women's team declined the invitation due to "timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments."
"There’s been so much more love, and the amount of support and encouragement that I’ve received outweighs the hate immensely," Glenn said. "I know how much more important it is to have this visibility to young athletes than it is to these people that are being crabby and are hateful of empathy and kindness. What they have to say doesn’t matter."
"It is such a great organization, and it’s all about queer visibility in different media, and that’s what I’m all about: having that visibility in sports, especially in figure skating," she said. "So to have them supporting me and to be able to support them back, is such a great opportunity."
