Next month, the Minnesota Vikings and one of their former players will be holding a summit on an issue that is becoming more and more a part of the world of athletics.
Chris Kluwe, the former Vikings’ punter, will be a part of the NFL’s first ever large-scale summit focused on the inclusion of LGBTQ athletes in sports. The event will take place on 21 June, and will take place at the new Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center in Eagan.
The summit will include panels featuring gay, lesbian, and transgender athletes and coaches, and is expected to include about 200 athletes from various LGBTQ organizations across the Twin Cities.
