The reality is that every rower who is at the 2024 Olympics deserves our utmost respect and admiration.

The LGBTQ media is heralding the nine out rowers at the 2024 Paris Olympics.  Let’s make sure the all the other LGBTQ rowers get just as much admiration and respect.

The 2022 Rainbow Logo Challenge is a call to action for the global rowing community to openly show their support for the LGBTQ+ community: athletes, coaches, staff, and volunteers, in the month of June.  

The logo challenge is important because of the impact social media has on the rowing community.  Every social view, be it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, a blog, or a website, that  showcases a rainbow infused logo, tells the visitor this organization values and supports the LGBTQ+ community.
