Congratulations to lontime Outsports friend Bill Konigsberg, who won a Lambda Literary Award last night for his book about a gay high school football player, Out of the Pocket. The award was for LGBT Children’s/Young Adult. Bill’s been on the forefront of gay visibility in the sports media since he came out at ESPN in a widely read column on ESPN.com. The book has been very well-received by critics and the public, so congrats to Bill for the recognition of his wonderful book!
