Mark Bingham was an American rugby player who co-founded the Gotham Knights Rugby Football Club, an inclusive rugby team in New York, to help fight stigma in sports. Unfortunately, Mark was killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as one of the heroic passengers who stormed the cockpit on Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, PA. Every two years, the International Gay Rugby Association holds an international tournament in honor of his name.

The LGBTQ community has a storied history of heroic activism, dedication, and groundbreaking work. We hope the stories we share will inspire you to tell your own in a true, authentic way – or to help inspire LGBTQ young people in your life!
