Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), the New England-wide legal organization that won marriage cases in Mass. and Connecticut and is now suing to overturn DOMA, is setting its sights on challenging homophobia and transphobia in sports.
To determine how it can best do that, GLAD is researching the ways in which anti-gay and anti-transgender attitudes affect LGBT athletes and coaches. Its first step is collecting the stories of LGBT athletes, coaches and allies who can shed light on the challenges and barriers homophobia and transphobia present.
Please take a moment to participate in this important work by sharing your story in the brief survey HERE.
