OurScene TV – life/style tv for the LGBTQ community

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics offered new hope that LGBT athletes would be recognized and celebrated, but clearly more work needs to be done. OURsceneTV and OlympicsOrBust had the opportunity to interview Mark Tewksbury - one of just a few openly gay Olympians. Tewksbury, who won a silver medal in Seoul and a gold and a bronze in Barcelona, came out publicly at age 30, after growing frustrated with keeping secrets. Get Tewksbury’s take on who was competing in the closet during this year’s games.

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics have been incredible. One special moment came when OURsceneTV and OlympicsOrBust had the opportunity to interview deaf Olympic torchbearer – J.C. Horton. Surprisingly, J.C. was not the original torchbearer for that section of the torch’s journey. Instead a man named Brian Hill awarded it to him. Hill said that the Olympics “are about pushing yourself to achieve, more than you think possible, despite any obstacles that may come your way.” Hill watched J.C. grow up and was inspired by his determination to overcome whatever stood in his way.  J.C. is 16 years old, love sports and plays junior varsity basketball for Vancouver College. Check out his incredible story of beating the odds…
