Robert Dover became the first publicly out gay athlete to compete in the Olympics when he told the media he was gay. We talk with him about the acceptance of him as a gay athlete in equestrian and the Olympic movement, where he has competed as an athlete or coach in every Summer Games since 1984. He also talks about why he is putting the Olympics behind him. He also shares the story of meeting his husband, Robert Ross, who also competed in equestrian. And we end the conversation with Dover's thoughts on his support for Mayor Pete Buttigieg for President.
