Alone in the Game, Documentary on LGBTQ+ Athletes. Although we have made a lot of progress toward equality, we are not there yet.

The new documentary Alone in the Game premiered last night on the AT&T Audience Network, which sheds light on the discrimination and stigmatization that LGBTQ athletes face.

This beautifully executed documentary takes on an expansive subject — LGBT athletes in sports — and skillfully weaves a variety of stories in an informative, brisk and entertaining way. 

The film's creator and executive producer, David McFarland, says that the athletes' stories are notable not because they're out as gay and lesbian athletes but how many more like them there could be and should be, if not for prejudices in society.

'Unfortunately, as this feature-length doc explains, of the current 4,696 pro athletes in America, there are zero openly gay players in the major leagues.'

The theme of the film explores the challenges attached to coming out in such a homophobic culture, which leads many athletes to develop depression and suicidal thoughts. 

The new documentary Alone in the Game presents several eye-opening stories and statistics about LGBTQ athletes and homophobia in sports.Producer David McFarland is hopeful that major league LGBTQ athletes will come out in the future
