Learned about an exciting new organization called United for Equality in Sports & Entertainment (UESE) last night. While not the first group dedicated to making things more fair for LGBT people in sport and entertainment, it is the first to have the ear of the United Nations. Thomas Roberts moderated a panel there with Martina Navratilova, Jason Collins and others, which I hear was groundbreaking on many levels. Was crushed that Martina never showed at the post-event reception I was invited to, but then I wound up having a long talk with Tyler Clementi's mom, an innocent flirtation with a long-extinguished flame and a heart-to-heart over pizza with a new friend in Brooklyn. Life is sweet.
