Winner of 2007 Independent Publisher Gold Award for
Gay/Lesbian literature. Some are legendary such as pilot
Amelia Earhart and golf champion Babe Didrikson. Others are
less familiar balloonist Alberto Santos-Dumont and javelin
thrower Ana Maria Sagi. Some went public NFL running back
David Kopay and downhill skier Erik Schinegger. Others, such
as Wilhelm von Homburg, were known only to sport insiders.
Some, like jockey John Damien, figured in milestone court
cases. Some, like jouster Joan of Arc and racehorse breeder
George Villiers, were historical figures. Others, like
tennis player Martina Navratilova and figure skater John
Curry, competed in modern Olympics. But they have something
in common: they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or
transgendered. And they stood out extraordinarily in their
chosen sport. Their stories, carefully researched and
movingly written by landmark author Patricia Nell Warren for
Outsports.com, create a sweeping panorama and a
heart-pounding literary experience.
