Help get Greg Louganis on "Dancing With the Stars"

"Dancing With the Stars" is a reality TV contest on American TV, based on the BBC format for "Strictly Come Dancing". Gay Games Ambassador has in the past expressed a desire to be a contestant on the show, and now some fans have created a Facebook page to promote his selection for the next season.

From LGBTQ Nation:


“I really want to do this for GLBT youth,” Louganis told me this morning. “Being on Dancing With The Stars is more than me being on the show, it sends a positive message — an ‘It Gets Better’ message. And that message is still important- kids are still losing hope. I want to do what I can for them.”

There have been gay men on DWTS before — Lance Bass, Carson Cressley and Louis Amstel — and Chaz Bono broke the transgender barrier last season. But if his bid is successful, Louganis would be the first openly HIV positive contestant. And it’s about time, say HIV activists.
