I received this news from our friend Craig Cassey, a Georgetown freshman athlete. We wrote about Craig this year when he started a blog, Craig's Gay Word, and most famously when he was named his school's prom king. Craig's blog continues to impress and he is now posting the experiences of gay freshmen at Georgetown. The stories are terrific to read.
