glrfcentral has added a new status update: The US-focused political action committee, Human Rights Campaign (HRC), profiled the 'out' LGBTQ+ USA athletes competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The article profiles six amazing women rowers. GLRF will vouch for the other rowers who will also be competing but have chosen to not discuss their sexual orientation. We know that all of you, on so many teams, are competing and we're cheering for you as well! https://www.hrc.org/news/meet-out-athletes-in-the-2024-olympics
