Nassib, a lineman for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, lit a spark. Thanks to him and other trailblazers, LGBTQ+ sportspeople have come further than ever. In 2019, I became the first National Football League player to come out as bisexual. Now other athletes must build on our hard-earned achievements to secure equality for all.The words “first” or “only” are usually honors in sports. But for LGBTQ+ athletes they can spell loneliness and suffering.
Sports are about competition, of course. They’re also about connection, about bringing people together. Praising and celebrating those who have been historically excluded, attacked, belittled or marginalized are often lifesaving acts.

In lonely times, they have been our families.We enrich everyone by uplifting diverse teams, cities and communities.
