Abstract "Eight chapters, presented by Sartore-Baldwin (kinesiology, East Carolina U.), explore the complex relationships between gender, sexual orientation, and sport. Contributors examine the lesbian stigma in sport, the evolution of homophobic language in the sport context as it relates to changing attitudes, policy issues concerning transsexual and intersex athletes, the multiple minority status of African American sexual minorities, the evolution of the Gay Games as a site where diversity and unity are valued, and the benefits of sexual orientation diversity within sports organizations."--Provided by publisher.
