Sports stars often become society’s role models, exhibiting the discipline, courage and determination to motivate us in our own lives. For these LGBTQ athletes, the ability to inspire goes one step beyond. When they break down stereotypes, leap over expectations, and lift up their voices, they show that we all have the muscle to overcome adversity.
For LGBTQ History Month, HRC is honoring these pioneering athletes fighting for equality both on and off the field.
