Jocks: True Stories of America's Gay Male Athletes, by Dan Woog

High school soccer coach and writer Dan Woog reads from, Jocks, his pioneering book about gay high school athletes published in 1997.

A closeted gay male for most of his life, Woog wrote this bestseller during a turbulent and often dangerous era for homosexual men, giving voice to a population unapologetically expected to be straight.

After, we discuss the dramatic impact Jocks had on athletes, and the difficulty an administration had in trying to embrace its acceptance of it.
