Athlete Ally gives everyone in the sports community a platform to come together as one human voice to evoke change and take a stand against discrimination in sports. Allyship brings awareness, knowledge and the ability to revolutionize the treatment of athletes in the LGBT&Q community. Athletes should not feel “silent” on their team because of their sexual orientation, but instead rightfully be a contributing voice to their athletic community. I am an Athlete Ally Pro Ambassador because I believe we should be judged for our hearts as people and for our performance as athletes.
