At this year’s NCAA Men’s Final Four weekend in Atlanta, The Human Rights Campaign and It Takes a Team! – a project of Billie Jean King’s Women in Sports Foundation – present a panel discussion to continue dialogue about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender athletes at all levels, from high school to the pros.
“Specifically in the arena of sports, this discussion must continue until gay athletes are viewed and treated without prejudice," Ameachi says. "Sports organizations have an obligation to engender an atmosphere where all people can perform at their peak for the benefit of the individual and the team. Allowing people to be true to themselves not only encourages empowerment, it fuels honesty and trust, the key elements needed in any healthy relationship, marriage, team or work environment.”
The panel takes place at 11:00 am at the Inforum in downtown Atlanta and also includes Joey Fisher, David Kopay, and Terri O’Connell.
And for fans of the very handsome Billy Bean, a former major leaguer who came out in 1999, here are a few sizzling pics I found while searching for the one of he and Esera that I posted above:
