LGBT Acceptance in Sports.webm

As part of State's celebration of LGBT Pride Month, this global webchat celebrated recent successes and challenges on LGBT acceptance in sports. The discussion featured Jason Collins, who recently became the first U.S. professional basketball player (NBA) to announce that he is gay, and Wade Davis, a former NFL professional football player who came out publicly in 2012. Wade Davis is currently the executive director for the You Can Play Project, an advocacy organization working to eradicate homophobia in U.S. professional sports.
