The Minnesota Vikings hosted a summit yesterday to start the conversation on helping create a positive and inclusive atmosphere for LGBTQ athletes.
Chris Hine for the Star Tribune reported on the multi sport summit that included 60 different organizations, 14 NFL and collegiate teams, and other local teams that include the Timberwolves, Lynx, and Wild. The importance of starting the conversation for the topic is not lost on all the attendees, including Vikings chief operating officer Kevin Warren, he has said that this is not a one time occasion for the team and he hopes to have summits like this in the future.
