The editors intended for this volume to provide queer and ally
athletes a space to have a voice and share the experiences that
have been significant in their identity as an athletic member of
the LGBT community. To that end, this book is a collection of
autobiographical short stories of LGBT athletes and their
experiences in sports and athletics, some who are publicly out and
some who are not. Based on the narratives collected, the book is
organized around themes that illustrate various perspectives and
the power that sport can play in 1) finding one's true identity, 2)
bridging communities, and 3) challenging gender norm stereotypes.
The goal of this book is to help change the expectations of what it
means to be a successful athlete and promote greater inclusivity of
LGBT athletes. Providing the space for these voices to be heard
will help to pave the way for a non?discriminating sporting
environment, allow LGBT athletes to focus on their given sport
without any distractions, and enable these athletes to live an
authentic life without having to hide their true identity.
