I have a much different life than what I thought was possible for growg up whout any gay fluenc or role mols.

And sce I didn’t have a lot of iends growg up, I assumed that much of what was available did not apply to me bee I am gay. To this day I am still cur why was important to announce to strangers I was gay when walkg to a classroom, a locker room or a dg room. Whout knowg a sgle thg about beg gay and never havg met an openly gay man, I feared beg gay om as long as I n remember.

And if I was gay, I knew I uld blend and hi my achievements. We all took re of each other, looked out for one other, and supported each other ways I thought were not for me bee I was gay.

The Warwick Rowers project is a gay/straight alliance that dat back to 2009, when their but lendar was lnched to raise funds for the Universy of Warwick Boat Club. Then turns out that the much-anticipated Berl girls' team has been replaced by a team [queerSchlag] of athletic, clich�-burstg young gay men. It is a gay rowg group based Berl.

However, the name of the gay rowg club ed the film is fact queerSchlag.

Miami - Miami Beach Rowg Club partnered wh the Miami Gay and Lbian Film Ftival to produce a special after-party at the Ronald Shane Watersports Center. The Gay and Lbian Rowg Feratn (GLRF) has been the rowg muny for s providg rourc, unique rowg gear, and a muny of like-md rowers wh a place to miserate wh one another.

Really our ma objective at that time was simply to create an anizatn as required by the Feratn of Gay Gam to know to be able to reprent the rowg muny.

Why is important for there to be a muny like that tailored toward people who intify as gay or intify as someone on the LGBTQ spectm?

Todd – I thk to be able to nnect wh rowers om around the world is still important for gay and lbian rowers. Is rowg a good sport for a gay person? ’ and we say, well, rowg is a nonntact sport and we feel the number of gay and lbian people rowg is much higher than the standard 10 percent.
