Empowered by colleagues and friends to write this op-ed for @SBJ. Have the convo and then have it again. Conversation establishes culture; culture establishes policy; and policy drives change. Thank you @wasserman for the big lift.

“Acceptance is the epitome of sports ethos: Diversity breeds teamwork & success...I see this today in my current role at Wasserman. For the first time in my life, I am unburdened, & thus empowered." - @Hig_Roberts @SBJ

@Hig_Roberts's powerful @SBJ op-ed calls on sports leaders to continue LGBTQ+ efforts in the 11 months outside of just #PrideMonth. The full article below tells his own journey & explains how we can destigmatize & uplift minority narratives.

To the athletes who overcame barriers to make it, to the athletes who prioritized mental health, to the LGBTQ+ athletes who stood proud and visible, to the athletes of color who used their voices, and to the athletes who shared their lives with us. The power of sports is strong.

[Hig Roberts @Hig_Roberts]

So, Tokyo 2020 has come to a wrap. I fully recognize some of the complications, but I want to recognize the athletes who in so many instances represented themselves with a bravery and authenticity that I believe transformed the athletic space forever. It was a pleasure to watch.

I’m crying 🥺🤍 how special. I love you @taylorswift13

Word on the street is that Doggie-Backpack-Cycling will be in the next Olympics. Training for Eddie and I starts now 🏁🇺🇸🚴🏽. #Olympics #TeamUSA

[Hig Roberts @Hig_Roberts]

A truly stunning, feel-good moment. Congrats Lydia!

[Team USA @TeamUSA]

There is only one 50-meter pool in the state of Alaska.

Lydia Jacoby is the first @usaswimming athlete from Alaska.

Now, she's got a gold medal. #TokyoOlympics

I'M IN - I'm running to represent Colorado's mountain communities in the State Senate!

We have accomplished a lot over the last few years but there is much more work to do for our state's future.

Even though I certainly ain’t rocking a stache, I had the opportunity to sit down with @Movember and discuss my story, pride month, mental health, and some good life lessons. Thanks for the important convo, linked below 👨‍🦰🏳️‍🌈:

[Hig Roberts @Hig_Roberts]

@Movember Of course, makes sense. I will start manifesting the stache powah! 👨‍🦰👨‍🦰👨‍🦰

[Hig Roberts @Hig_Roberts]

Thank you @Movember for the great chat. Mental health, masculinity, sexuality, and pride. Happy to be included in this important discussion. Now, can you teach me how to properly grow a stache? 👨‍🦰

[Movember USA @Movember]

In December 2020, now-retired professional alpine skier @Hig_Roberts came out publicly as gay, making him the first man within his profession to do so. Hig experienced firsthand the struggles of defining ‘masculinity’ within athletic spaces. [1/2]

[NTT INDYCAR SERIES @IndyCar]

As #PrideMonth comes to a close, take a look at some special moments with @indypride and @Hig_Roberts at #IMS and @detroitgp.

Sport is for everyone. We’ll continue to show and celebrate our #Pride as we work to make racing more welcoming and inclusive for all.

[Hig Roberts @Hig_Roberts]

You know where to find me next time you need a test dummy! @IndyCar Thanks for celebrating the right things. I’m still buzzing after the weekend.

[NTT INDYCAR SERIES @IndyCar]

Thanks again for coming to the @detroitgp, @Hig_Roberts and @jamindavis25.

Hope you had the ride of a lifetime.

Verdict after this weekend: I did the wrong sport and I definitely had the wrong suit.

Thank you to @indycar for inviting my sister and I to celebrate Pride Month this weekend at the Detroit Grand Prix 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. It was truly an honor to be out, proud and represent my community.

[NTT INDYCAR SERIES @IndyCar]

Like Hig, we believe sports should be welcoming and inclusive of everyone and we’re committed to continue celebrating the diversity of our #INDYCAR community.

[Hig Roberts @Hig_Roberts]

What an honor. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[NTT INDYCAR SERIES @IndyCar]

To celebrate #PrideMonth, @Hig_Roberts led the field to green at the #DetroitGP in the Ruoff Fastest Seat in Sports.

Proud to be here. Thanks @IndyCar @IndyCaronNBC for celebrating pride and including me 🏳️‍🌈. It’s an honor to represent my community. I’m ready to go fast. This will be better than the ski mountain 🏎.

UPDATE: #HB1307 PASSED the Health & Insurance Committee with a bipartisan vote of 10-2! ✅

I am so grateful to all the witnesses who came to testify, those who worked on this bill with me, and to my colleagues for their support.

On to the next step! #coleg #Insulin4all

You don’t applaud a fish for swimming and you don’t applaud the justice system for providing justice.

But thankfully, today, we can breathe a sigh of relief.
