Out U.S. Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon, who this week became the first openly gay man to qualify for the U.S. Olympics, told the BBC in a new interview that he wouldn’t feel welcome at the White House.

“I don’t think somebody like me would be welcome there,” said Rippon, 28. “I know what it’s like to go into a room and feel like you’re not wanted.”

Rippon added that he’s not afraid to speak his mind: “I think it’s important that we stand up for what we believe in and we speak out against thinks that we think are wrong and unjust.”

He added: “If I talked to people the way that President Trump talks to people my mom would kick my ass.”

And she's 94.

And I'm 63.

And she can still do that. Moms are awesome!
