Some are legendary such as pilot Amelia Earhart and golf champion Babe Didrikson. Others are less familiar balloonist Alberto Santos-Dumont and javelin thrower Ana Maria Sagi. Some went public NFL running back David Kopay and downhill skier Erik Schinegger. Others, such as Wilhelm von Homburg, were known only to sport insiders. Some, like jockey John Damien, figured in milestone court cases. Some, like jouster Joan of Arc and racehorse breeder George Villiers, were historical figures. Others, like tennis player Martina Navratilova and figure skater John Curry, competed in modern Olympics. But they have something in common: they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered.

Their stories, carefully researched and movingly written by landmark author Patricia Nell Warren for Outsports.com, create a sweeping panorama and a heart-pounding literary experience. 651519 1 11 2006 The Lavender Locker Room: 3000 Years of Great Athletes Whose Sexual Orientation Was Different total:1|5:1| 1 5 8 0 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 16:37:05 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 16:37:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 18 18:39:13 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 18:39:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 12 01:55:12 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 01:55:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 09 21:54:58 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 21:54:58 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 11 18:10:30 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 18:10:30 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Aug 09 06:52:02 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 06:52:02 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jun 24 18:54:13 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 18:54:13 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Aug 26 05:43:47 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 26 05:43:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=665463
