Ben Cohen Launches Magazine

Ben Cohen Launches Magazine

Gay Star News has some details:

The magazine, which carries the tagline 'True Champions Stand Up,' will feature the personal stories of athletes and focus on such things as character, fairness and inclusion. Among the articles in the debut issue are on the National Hockey League taking the lead in the fight against homophobia and whether the National Football League is ready for an openly gay player. "We stand up against bullying regardless of to whom it happens," the foundation states on its website. "Because lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are often targeted by bullies, we give particular attention to this community. We include removing homophobia from sports as central to our mission."

There will be a kick-off party for the magazine in New York City in November.

Ben is an amazing athlete but does more off the field and is truly an inspirational leader. I am biased, of course, being an owner of 2 beautiful golden retrievers and noting that he has a beautiful dog as well. It is wonderful, of course, to note his handsome appearance as well, but the attention he calls to bullying of all sorts is what makes him a wonderful spokesperson to all.
