New Documentary about Lesbian and Gay High School Athletes

Check out this trailer for a new documentary about lesbian and gay high school athletes, entitled Out For The Long Run. In the interests of full disclosure, I get to be a talking head in the film. The filmmakers interviewed me and filmed Dan Woog and I doing a workshop on LGBT athletes with the coaching staff at Mohawk Regional High School here in Massachusetts.




I’m excited because we need good educational tools to work with high schools I think this one could be really helpful. I look forward to seeing the finished product and will post information about it here when I have it. Our It Takes A Team video is getting a little long in the tooth and, though I still think the issues we address in it are relevant, I know athletes who see it get side tracked by dated sports shoes, uniforms and hair styles in the film. When I show it, I encourage them to focus on the issues, not the shoes and uniforms, but I know it would be more effective if we could update the video. That takes money, of course. I hope we can raise the funds we need to make a new video in the next year. In the meantime, I’m excited about this film.
