A team made up of a gay man and three lesbian women will compete in the orienteering "Eco-Challenge" next month. Nice profile here in the NYTimes.

And our fearless leader, Jim, is quoted in the article! "While pro and big-time college sports continue to be bastions of hyperheterosexuality, these `lesser' sports (though much more physically demanding) like those in Eco show themselves to be less concerned and less hung up on sexuality. Social changes often occur first at the margins and this is just another example."

I love this quote from Rodger MacFarlane: "In high school I was big enough to get past the gay thing. Freshman football, I went out to hurt people. I found the biggest redneck and went for his knees sideways, stomped his face when he was down. I was a monster, a legend. And then I could go jump rope with the girls."
