 GLAF Partners with Montreal 2006 and GLISA We live in a society obsessed with, and in important ways influenced by, sports. The implication for gays and lesbians is clear. Our full acceptance by the wider society depends in part on our making inroads into what until now has been one of the last acceptable bastions of homophobia, sports. We need your help to develop positive role models and heroes. “We want to give athletes an opportunity to share their experiences. Our goals are twofold: One, create a community of gay athletes who can communicate with each other regularly. Two, help cultivate an environment in sports in which athletes are accepted and respected without regard to their sexual orientation. In the process, we help to create positive role models for the society at large.” - O. Mac Chinsomboon, GLAF Executive Director PRESS: 02-01-06 Martina Navratilova to Participate in International Conference on LGBT Human Rights See online video from past events -- Very
