we had the honor of hosting amazing panelists at Rainbow Room Doylestown.Their stories have inspired many young people to play sports, or simply enjoy watching them! The work of Yunio Martinez and Kristin Lepley has created safe spaces for queer people like us in local sports. And thanks to Justin Friedbeeg who has shown that everyone is welcome in the @philaunion stands—we all have the right to support our favorite teams without discrimination! Everyone there now wants to became a Goalie!
But what really inspired our youth was seeing Naomi Wilson, a trans woman, showing that you can be authentic in local sports and be who you truly are, playing all those sports there aren’t barriers to excersive or build community. Her bravery inspires us all to be true to ourselves and to fight for our dreams. Together, we’re creating a more inclusive world in sports. 💪🏳️⚧️ or as our own #kickingouttransphobia story from having 0 representation at the event to became one of the events with more trans and nonconforming representation, that is what really inspire and motivate us to continue working on #safespaces
