I doubt there is a gay person out there who can not relate to Mark Tewksbury's autobiography, "Inside out: Straight Talk from a Gay Jock" [Wiley, 1 edition, 2007]. That is, until he was propelled into international prominence with his 1992, Olympic gold medal performance in Barcelona, Spain; one of only seven gold medals awarded to a Canadian athelete that year.Until then, however, his story is almost pro forma. Included are his family and his generally unhappy childhood, his early same-sex infatuations, the prevailing fear of exposure--yet being centred-out as gay, anyway; proving, I suppose, that the `closet' has see-through walls at times--and the mindless abuse he suffered on account of it. Through it all, however, his will to achieve never faltered, and it is this that makes his story truly inspirational.Another inspirational aspect is his steadfast ability to remain true to himself, i.e."I gazed around the room slowly. The best swimmers from Russia, Cuba, the United States, Spain, Germany and France were in front of me. And I was different. I was the fag. And in that moment I owned my truth completely. I thought, `If these guys knew how hard it was for me to get here, they wouldn't believe it. They have no bloody clue what I have been through. Or how strong I am.'"Having said that, however, the second half of the story is both informative and redundant respecting the International Olympic Committee and its politics; given what was known even when the story was first published in 2007. Likewise, the discord within the Gay Olympics, GayGames & OutGames came as no surprise. Sexual orientation does not preclude ideological differences, personal agendas, pecuniary influence, and rabid infighting. In this respect it conforms quite congruently with the wider community.Albeit, that is the reality of Mark Tewksbury's experience, and for his part he can only be faulted for trying to crowd all of this into one story. Nonetheless, I can enthusiastically recommend this story as an inspiration for aspiring, gay athletes, and a challenge to similarly oriented, marquee athletes to do the same. Four and one-half stars.Gerry Burnie"Two Irish Lads""Journey to Big Sky"
Decades after Dave Kopay's ground-breaking autobiography, there still are very few elite athletes who have been willing to come out of the closet. Therefore, Mark Tewksbury's memoir gains an automatic interest. Tewksbury, a 1992 Olympic gold medalist in the backstroke (he upset favored American Jeff Rouse), does not focus a great deal in "Inside Out" on this triumph, at least in part because he has already penned a book on that topic, but mostly because he wants to focus on what he views as more essential subjects. He talks of his family and his generally unhappy childhood, his early same-sex crushes, his fear of exposure both before and especially after his rise to the highest rank of his sport, all to frequently moving effect. His accounts of his foray within the international Olympic movement, and later involvement with the nascent Gay Games, offer fascinating glimpses into the politics and intrigue of big-time sports.All this may seem like a lot to stuff into a relatively short book, and in fact, it is. Tewksbury, who on the evidence is a decent writer, spends so much time recounting events that there is not much time for atmosphere or reflection, though one might take this as an accurate conveyance of what frequently seems to be a frantic, fast-paced life. When he does pause to talk about his emotions his plain style is genuinely touching, as in his account of his father's death from cancer. Though one may wonder just how hard a skilled athlete with a strapping physique and dazzling smile (evident in many of the photos, though the beefcake element is kept low-key), not to mention a gift for public speaking, could possibly have it, Tewksbury's willingness to reveal his inner anguish and vulnerability cannot fail to touch the reader. Until such time as the world of sport comes to terms with the sexual orientation of some of its greatest representatives books such as "Inside Out" will be necessary.
As far as the gay issue was concerned, I absolutely knew mr. tewksbury was gay when he came up to the edge of the pool at the barcelona olympics and i could clearly see even from the television screen a very secretive and troubled look at the very back of his magnificent blue eyes.. i can not relate to his worldwind lifestyle -- he was dating a prominent Austrian or Swiss boyfriend (a model or something along those lines was it? ) The logistics of his personal Canada/Europe dates do not even register with someone who only flies to his neice's home at christmas and has only rarely flown across the country for job interviews, having gone on only one government exchange to another country , but of course he was already doing a lot of travelling for his swim meets and his father was a Calgary oil company executive who probably made the family travel a great deal. The Monaco Royal Family does not impress me all that much but he had a personal friendship with the present Prince of Monaco while both were members of the Olympic Committee and Tewksbury's Olympic experience and success are now helping him to be Chef de Mission for Canada at the London Olympics where I am sure he can offer his vast Olympic experience to Canada's newest athletes.Surely there are gay CFL and NFL football players, gay professional wrestlers perhaps, gay NBA basketball players, gay NHL hockey players, etc. etc. but because these professional players are money-making property of various team owners, gay athletes are perhaps leary of coming out while they are still on contract to their teams/owners due to possible loss of advertising revenue for the players and the possible damage to the public image of their teams.Thus we have to read about gay Olympic swimmers like mr. tewksbury, gay Olympic divers like Greg Louganis, gay movie stars after their deaths like George Nader, or near the end of their acting careers like Rock Hudson and Richard Chamberlain. The biographies of the gay team players are still largely to come.
