WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE INTERNATIONAL - OUTSPORTS - SPORTS - A message from Outsports Co-Founder Cyd Zeigler.

And for a lot of athletes, it’s also been the place they first saw that being out in sports was possible. Cyd Zeigler co-founded Outsports in 1999. In this short message, he talks about why he still believes these stories need a home—and what it takes to make sure Outsports can keep showing up for the athletes who need it. Ad revenue rises and falls. Other sources of support do too. Members give us something different: people we can count on to stand behind this work. Hear it from Cyd: And a message from our CEO Q.Digital CEO Scott Gatz sees the impact beyond sports. Independent LGBTQ media gives our community a chance to tell our own stories and show the world who we actually are. That matters whether it’s an athlete coming out, a victory worth celebrating, or a story that challenges what people think they know about LGBTQ lives. Hear Scott’s message: We need you on the team. We’re closing in on our goal of 1,500 members by September 30. Every person who joins helps give Outsports the stability to keep showing up and telling the stories mainstream sports media too often misses. If Outsports has ever helped you see what’s possible, help make sure the next person can see it too. Because our stories deserve to be told. BECOME A MEMBER Copyright © 2025 Outsports, Inc.
