Martina to get yet another honor...
Here is a woman who could never get enough awards if you gave them to her every day for the rest of her life. With all the publicity surrounding the coming out last month of former NBA player John Amaechi, it's important to remember that Martina came out as a lesbian more than 25 years ago. She never compromised, never backed down. She lost endorsements, endured hostile crowds at times but more than anything, she kept on winning and in the end, she changed the world.
On May 12, will be honored at the 30th anniversary gala for the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. She will receive the Voice and Visibility award, which honors those who have demonstrated a commitment to LGBT rights.
