Inside Out: Straight Talk From a Gay Jock

Author:  Mark Tewsbury

Publisher:  John Wiley and Sons

Edition:  Print

Where I got the book: Strathcona High School Library


Publisher's summary: Once the elite athlete, now an accomplished and natural storyteller, Mark Tewksbury uses his own story --public and private -- to offer a fascinating insight into the worlds of Olympic politics, media, fame, gay life, and sports leadership.  He takes us from growing up gay in conservative western Canada, through the pain of keeping his true self a secret even as he feted on the world stage, and ultimately to coming out, being able to live his whole life to the fullest, and to make a difference in life.
