We Are Everywhere (Even On Collegiate Lacrosse Teams)

Thanks to a colleague I came across this inspiring story about Andrew "Goldie" Goldstein, an All-American, openly-gay lacrosse goalie for Dartmouth College.
There are a handful of gay professional athletes – David Kopay, Billy Bean,
Esera Tuaolo – who came out after their careers ended. There are a number of
talented gay collegiate athletes, some who play individual sports at the
Division I level (such as California gymnast Graham Ackerman), others from team
sports at the Division II and III levels.

But Andrew Goldstein, according to those who document these things, is the
most accomplished male, team-sport athlete in North America to be openly gay
during his playing career.
