Hello fellow LGBT athletes! On Thursday night, SKI BUMS is kicking off our new season, and we want you and your friends to come join us at Therapy from 7 PM to 10 PM. We're giving away a free Burton Snowboard and free lift tickets to local ski resorts!

We welcome skiers and boarders of ALL skill levels, from complete newbies to major powder-hounds. We've even got a daytrip devoted to beginners where you can learn how to ski or ride for free. :) And, with over 500 members, you're guaranteed to meet other skiers and boarders at your level, whether you sign up for one of our cool, inexpensive daytrips from NYC or head to the big mountains of Wyoming, California, Vermont, New Mexico, Utah, Italy, Norway and Chile, all of which are on our 2010 calendar.
Membership dues are just $45 per year. Become a member, sign up for trips and view our photo galleries on our informative website at www.ski-bums.org. Everyone is welcome at our parties, which happen one a month, so please stop by anytime to meet the awesome spectrum of members -- male and female, younger and older, gay, straight, bi and trans -- in SKI BUMS!

SURVEY: Homophobia and Transphobia in Sports
Dear Athletes,
GLAD, the New England-wide legal organization that won marriage cases in Mass. and Connecticut and is now suing to overturn DOMA, is setting its sights on challenging homophobia and transphobia in sports. To determine how it can best do that, GLAD is researching the ways in which anti-gay and anti-transgender attitudes affect LGBT athletes and coaches. Its first step is collecting the stories of LGBT athletes, coaches and allies who can shed light on the challenges and barriers homophobia and transphobia present.
Here is the link to the survey: www.glad.org/sports
We are aiming to reach as many LGBT athletes and coaches as possible to provide the necessary support and legal remedies.
Very best,
Jamal Brown
