Bowdoin College tennis coach Colin Joyner
A group at Bowdoin College in Maine is making headway in helping student athletes feel like part of a community when they decide it’s time to come out.
Men’s tennis coach Colin Joyner said that when he was a student at Bowdoin (he graduated in 2003), he felt somewhat isolated after he gradually came out. He left to play semipro tennis, but when he returned to campus as a coach, he went back into the closet, which also proved to be difficult, so he came out to his team in 2009.
