Andrew Goldstein has become the new face of the reclusive gay athlete.
This ESPN story highlights how far Sig Ep has come in our acceptance and non-discrimination polices. We not only have the policy, we live it in our chapters.
Andrew Goldstein - an all-american lacrosse goalie and a Sig Ep - is a great example of courage.
"I'm a liberal person, and I try not to assume things about people," said Sean Garren, a fellow fraternity brother of Goldstein's in Sigma Phi Epsilon and also a member of the Gay Straight Alliance. "But the lacrosse team was not where I imagined there being an All-American gay person. I think that there are so many stereotypes that a lot of gay people all over the country kind of live up to. A lot of stereotypes that have just been built up over time, and Andrew breaks a lot of those."
ESPN will air this story on Sunday.
Andrew Goldstein spent a number of days working with the ESPN crew that produced the exclusive story of his coming out. It is scheduled to appear on Sunday's SportsCenter (11 p.m., EST).
