SUPPORTER: Harvard University wrestling team came out as straight allies on National Coming Out Day

The Harvard Crimson reports that members of the Wrestling team arrived at the Malkin Athletic Center to pose for a team photo in gay pride attire and rainbow pins that read “Proud Ally.”

Wearing a shirt that said, “Some Dudes Marry Dudes. Get Over It,” Anthony J. Buxton, a varsity wrestler, said he had received smiles from people on the street.

“There is a much larger community of allies who are willing and ready–even eager–to stand with their LGBT peers,” McCarthy said.
