Letters

In high school I swam and ran both track and cross-country. I know first-hand the sort of feelings a gay athlete goes through when trying to balance a masculine athletic persona with feelings of isolation because of one's sexuality. While being openly gay can be hard, it becomes even more difficult when one is forced to portray other people's ideals of masculinity. I hope that Taylor's message encourages young men and women to be who they are.
