    More than 30 individuals gathered on Thursday to hear Michael Holtz, an openly gay swimmer and LGBT activist, talk about the “reinventions” in his life and LGBT issues in athletics.

    Holtz, who was Rainbow Alliance’s Spring Speaker, began his talk by describing his life in high school in Naples, Florida. He said although he was very active and successful in high school, he didn’t feel happy with his life.

    “People would accept me not because I was gay and successful, but rather they would overlook the fact that I was gay because I was successful,” Holtz said.

    Below is an interview with Holtz from back in 2010

      LGBTTruelove.com was built with the strictest intention to support individuals of the LGBT community who are looking for true life partners. Due to the lack of relationship focused LGBT websites, we felt as this was much needed to join loving individuals together no matter who they are or what their preference’s are. Everyone is equal in our house.
