Summary:
The 2018 Winter Olympics marked a milestone for LGBTQ+
athletes
. Thirteen
athletes
out of 3,000 competitors were out and proud
--
nearly double the number who felt comfortable sharing their sexuality four years earlier at the Sochi Games. Many
athletes
stay closeted for their entire sports careers, often unable to compete at their highest ability because of the shame and self-doubt they feel in not being true to their orientation or identity. But coming out still means facing harassment from fans, teammates, opponents, and the media, and a lack of sponsorship opportunities. While organizations like You Can Play, the Canadian Olympic Committee and Eagle
Canada
have made progress in recent years in promoting inclusivity at the grassroots and elite sporting levels, there is still much work to be done to ensure all
athletes
feel safe being their authentic selves.
Athletes
profiled include swimmer Mark Tewksbury, rhythmic gymnast Rose Cossar, professional hockey player Brock McGillis, speed skater Anastasia Bucsis, pairs figure skater Eric Radford, volleyball players Betty Baxter and Christopher Voth and hockey player Angela James. Generously illustrated with photographs and given context by an overview of the history of LGBTQ+
athletes
in
Canada
, this book will make all young sports enthusiasts and competitors proud to play.
