Publicly out LGBT athletes at the Paralympics in Rio are already continuing the winning tradition of the out Olympians weeks before them, bringing home lots of medals.

With team competitions still to be resolved, and various individual events still to come, publicly out athletes have already won three medals, including one of each color. They have also been across three different sports and from three different countries.

Half of the dozen gay, lesbian and bisexual athletes we know about in this year's Paralympics are on teams from the United States whose results are not yet fully known, so we anticipate the number of medals to dramatically increase. We'll track their medal performances here.

So far, here are the medal winners:
