Photos: World's 2nd strongest man comes out as gay

“He and I have been together for two months and I didn’t want to hide it anymore (I’m sort of a romantic). Had it not been for him I would not have decided to take the leap and come out and who knows where I would be today without him. I hope people realize that being gay doesn’t change the athlete/person I am. I am still the second strongest 105kg Professional Strongman in America and I am still the same Rob Kearney they knew before this news. This is the happiest I have ever been and it feels damn good to say “I love you” and really feel it. Be happy, and be you… That’s what matters in life.”
