Outside the Lines: The World of the Gay Athlete (Video)

Outside the Lines, originally produced by ESPN, documents the journeys of two students struggling to compete as openly LGBT athletes in climates that are alternately hostile and welcoming. As they tell their moving stories, both students bring viewers into the world of the LGBT athlete a world set apart by courage and resilience.

An essential resource for coaches and physical educators, the video is accompanied by a viewing guide that provides lesson plan ideas, discussion questions and other resources for building equity in athletics.

Running time: 17 minutes.
