Hudson Taylor Continuing Effort To Battle Bullying



MSNBC's Thomas Roberts talks with Hudson Taylor, Founder & Executive Director of Athlete Ally.

ATHLETE ALLY™ was created by Hudson Taylor as a resource to encourage athletes, coaches, parents, fans and other members of the sports community to respect all individuals involved in sports, regardless of perceived or actual sexual-orientation or gender identity or expression.

An Athlete Ally is any person – regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity – who takes a stand against homophobia and transphobia in sports and brings the message of respect, inclusion and equality to their athletic community. Athlete Allies include competitive and recreational athletes as well as coaches, parents, teachers, league officials, sports fans, other sports participants and advocates.


"I'm on a mission to unite people; to bring people together for respect for everyone."
- Hudson Taylor
