Pro Baseball, Music, And Coming Out: Bryan Ruby's Uplifting Journey

Queer We Are

11/14/22 • 34 min

Brian Ruby, a gay professional baseball player and country singer made headlines in 2021 when he publicly became the only out while active player. Bryan made a powerful statement that his identity as a gay man and his love for baseball can coexist. His actions are an example of how knowing someone in the LGBTQ+ community changes one's worldview and diminishes the "them versus us" mentality. He was vulnerable and had much to lose by taking the giant step publicly and you'll find hope and inspiration through his story.
Bryan also discusses the creation of Proud to Be in Baseball, a non-profit organization that supports LGBTQ+ athletes in baseball and creates a sense of community for them.
In addition, as a rising country music artist, Bryan Ruby won Season 7 of the talent-search competition Nashville Rising Song, and his first single, ‘Left Field’, was featured on The TODAY Show and added to rotation on SiriusXM Country Pride, as well as the Academy of Country Music's Ultimate Pride Playlist.

Brian Sims & the Exciting Surge in LGBTQ Political Participation

Queer We Are

12/06/22 • 37 min

Brian Sims was the first openly gay person elected to the Pennsylvania legislature and served for ten years. He discusses the challenges faced by the LGBTQ community in achieving representation in politics and other fields, including the institutionalized marginalization of certain groups. We learn about the importance of young people growing up more authentically in themselves, the impact of empathy in government and the importance of standing firm in one's beliefs.
His story will make you feel optimistic as we see more lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and non-binary people elected to political office on both the local and national level.
Brian shares his experience of fighting for critical issues such as women's and reproductive rights, racial and ethnic justice, and LGBTQ+ equality. We hear how collaboration is important, but there are also times when standing firm and being unequivocal about one's identity and beliefs matters.
Another record for Brian Sims being the first and still only out NCAA team captain. You'll be inspired and find hope in how his team reacted to his news.
Brian is now Managing Director, Public Policy & Government Affairs with Out Leadership!
