Olympic Diver Greg Louganis Engaged, Among First Inductees Into The Gay & Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame

Greg Louganis, former Olympic diving champion, has a lot of exciting announcements to make this week. This fall, 53-year-old Louganis will marry paralegal Johnny Chaillot and will be among the first inductees into the Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame in Chicago.

The Hall of Fame honors the achievements of LGBT people in sports, Outsports.com reports. The initial group of its inaugural class includes athletes, media members, a professional sports team and others.

In 1994, after Louganis's diving career ended, he revealed he was gay. A year later, he announced that he was HIV-positive.

Louganis seems to be madly in love with his fiancé. He describes his relationship to People: "When we first got together it was like, 'We look like brothers.' He has the same skin. The same skin tone, everything. I was like, 'This feels really narcissistic.' But I also realize the more I fall in love with him the more I fall in love with myself."

The current list of inductees includes former MLB player Glenn Burke; ESPN contributor Christina Kahrl; former tennis pro Renee Richards; tennis legend Martina Navratilova; former Olympic diver Greg Louganis; tennis legend Billie Jean King; NBA player Jason Collins; ESPN and CNN contributor LZ Granderson; Gay Games founder Dr. Tom Waddell; professional boxer Orlando Cruz; former Major League Lacrosse goalie Andrew Goldstein; Standup Foundation head Ben Cohen; "Bleacher Preacher" Jerry Pritikin; the Chicago Cubs; Outsports.com; International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA); and Anheuser-Busch

The Center on Halsted will host the first induction ceremony August 2, the day before Out at Wrigley, the country's largest gay day at a major league sporting event, Queerty.com reports.
