STRAIGHT WRESTLER/COACH FORMS ORGANIZATION IN SUPPORT OF GAY ATHLETES



Thomas Roberts on MSNBC interviews former champion wrestler and Columbia wrestling coach Hudson Taylor about Athlete Ally, an organization and website Taylor started to "encourage athletes, parents, coaches, fans and other members of the sports community to respect all individuals involved in sports,regardless of perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity or expression." In his interview, Taylor says he tells his athletes now that athletics should be a safe place for everybody. He even wears a Human Rights Campaign sticker on his head gear! YAY!! Not to mention posting for the NOH8 campaign (pictured). Go to athleteally.com and take the pledge if you're an athlete. Taylor is a true inspiration, a great athlete and a superb role model. Oh, and are these to two most handsome men ever on the scene at the same time on a news show? I think so, yes.
