Could the next generation of gays be more interested in individuality than group identity? I’m hopeful after reading this piece about young athletes who’ve come out of the closet:
Acevedo joined the track team partly for love of the sport and partly to break stereotypes: “I wanted to say that I’m more than just gay.”
Goodman was more fearful that his sexual orientation might overshadow everything else.
“I want to be known as a rower,” he said. “Not as the gay kid.”
