More Real Euro Athletes Strip. Two Are Openly Gay!

Another score for the sexy, perpetually naked athletes of Europe! The recent cover of Dutch magazine Linda had bare-chested pro jocks speaking out for gay rights, two of whom are big ol' proud 'mos. Can you guess who?

Crazily enough, the magazine is a woman's mag. Oh, those wacky Dutch, with their tulips and wooden shoes and turning liberalism on its ear. The two gay boys are gymnast Jeffery Wammes (below, by the water) and race car driver (!) Mike Verschuur (below, to the left of his partner). The rest in the spread are straight, but gay in our minds. Once again, the fight for equality in sports comes from the E.U., while it remains padlocked behind an iron door stateside. We'd love more American athletes standing up for gay rights. They don't have to remove a single article of clothing. However, it's be awesome if they did! (Wink, wink.)

Watch a behind the scenes video of the steamy photoshoot here.
