Dave Lohse
is our Speaker
Join us as Dave Lohse, the Associate Athletic Communications Director at the University of North Carolina, speaks about the issue of gay visibility in the world of professional, collegiate, and Olympic sports. While Dave began his tenure at UNC in 1977, it wasn't until 1992 that he came out publicly - clearly an uncommonly brave thing for him to do at the time, but something that still happens all too rarely.
Dave will speak to us about how the arenas of sports and Hollywood continue to be bastions of closeted gays and lesbians, and he'll share his insights on why, unlike the rapid progress we are seeing in other areas of gay equality, he does not believe it will change anytime in the near future.
