Last night I met Ben Cohen at a Chelsea gay bar, where he was raising funds for his anti-homophobia campaign. Also in the house was champion wrestler Hudson Taylor. I'll post a slideshow later today. PS: Ben is completely sweet.

Read this NYT profile on the two most well-known straight allies in the world of sports. The article begins:

Ben Cohen is a world-class English rugby star, and Hudson Taylor is a three-time college all-American wrestler. They live on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. They barely know each other. But they have something quite unusual in common. They may be the only two high-profile heterosexual athletes dedicating their lives to the issues of bullying and homophobia in sports.

Having never heard his decidedly non-posh accent before, I think I like Ben Cohen even more, if that's possible. This clip is posted to Cyndi Lauper's We Give A Damn channel.
