Dear Friends,

As the Summer Olympics open, we want to ask your help in supporting, Matthew Mitcham, a gay Olympic athlete who has recently come out. Click HERE for a Sydney Morning Herald article about Matthew.

Matthew is an Australian diver, and you can send him a message of support (a "Herogram") at the following website:
http://hero.telstra.com/olympics

When asked to select an athlete, simply type his name and select his photo. You will have the option of a text message, a video message, or a Facebook message.

We suggest that you let him know that you are writing this as a member of the Gay Games movement.

Thanks for your support of the Gay Games movement, and your support of a young Out Olympian.

Sion O'Connor and Emy Ritt
Co-presidents
