Sochi LGBT issues

Tonight Jill and I went to a documentary showing. It was about LGBT issues at Socchi. It really struck a chord with me. It is an amazing story.

Mark Tewksbury was at the showing and spoke about his experiences as a gay athlete. 

After, we got to meet him and took a picture with Jill. He was so kind. He had a lovely conversation with Jill about swimming and goals and going for it. At the end he asked if she is a butterflier. She said that she was. He replied, "I can tell by your muscles."

Won some points there!!
