Outsports, a SB Nation site dedicated to LGBT issues in sports, published an essay Monday written by Wyoming sophomore diver Scotia Mullin about competing as an openly gay athlete at the University of Wyoming.
Titled "Far from home, gay college diver finds a second family in Wyoming," the essay details Mullin's experiences coming out as gay and being embraced by the Wyoming swimming and diving team. Mullin, who came to Wyoming from Melbourne, Australia, wrote that he was initially nervous about coming to conservative Wyoming but that his experience has been "totally different" from what he expected.
