Out Magazine: The Sports Allies Issue

The world of pro sports is notoriously unwelcoming to out athletes, one of the last bastions of homophobia.
From hate-filled fans to teammates who won’t share the showers to bigoted sportscasters, the toxic environment can ruin a career or even end a life.

shoulder-to-shoulder with their LGBT peers. Here, we salute them.
