Op-Ed: Diana Nyad - World-Class Marathon Swimmer and Lesbian Icon

Op-Ed: Diana Nyad - World-Class Marathon Swimmer and Lesbian Icon | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

In Key West, a gay tourist Mecca, they know Nyad is a lesbian... Why it matters that Nyad is a lesbian is because she’s an historic figure, a role model, an icon. On Aug. 31, Nyad, 64, –making her fifth attempt in 35 years–got into the waters off Cuba without a shark cage and swam for 53 hours and 110.7 miles to Key West, Florida. Staggering onto land, sunburned, bent over, her black and blue swimsuit encrusted with salt, Nyad nearly fell into the arms of a waiting woman, her trainer and friend Bonnie Stoll, to the cheers of onlookers, many of them waving rainbow flags.

Documentary photographer Vincent Cianni shares book portraying LGBT issues in the Military | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

The back of the book reads: “I am a soldier. I am a gay man. There is no greater honor than to serve in uniform. I can’t tell my name.” These words speak for and shed light on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in the U.S. military, and the eight-year silence it has faced by not being allowed to reveal who they are.
