#1 Gay-history Bestseller on Amazon.com!
Some are legendary such as pilot Amelia Earhart and golf champion Babe Didrikson. Others are less familiar balloonist Alberto Santos-Dumont and javelin thrower Ana Maria Sagi. Some went public NFL running back David Kopay and downhill skier Erik Schinegger. Others, such as Wilhelm von Homburg, were known only to sport insiders. Some, like jockey John Damien, figured in milestone court cases. Some, like jouster Joan of Arc and racehorse breeder George Villiers, were historical figures. Others, like tennis player Martina Navratilova and figure skater John Curry, competed in modern Olympics. But they have something in common: they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered. And they stood out extraordinarily in their chosen sport. Their stories, carefully researched and movingly written by landmark author Patricia Nell Warren for Outsports.com, create a sweeping panorama and a heart-pounding literary experience.

不論是飛越太平洋的愛蜜莉亞‧埃爾哈特，或者高爾夫冠軍芭‧狄力克生這類傳奇人物，抑或是熱汽球學者亞伯托‧山度士‧杜蒙特，標槍選手安娜‧瑪麗亞‧沙奇等比較不具知名度的人物。
從足球選手大衛‧柯佩，滑雪冠軍艾力克‧席耐格等眾所皆知的運動選手，到只有在運動圈內知名的威廉‧凡洪堡。
有些像騎師約翰‧達米安這種法庭案例里程碑，也有聖女貞德這種歷史人物，還有網球選手馬汀娜‧那拉提諾娃和花式溜冰選手約翰‧卡利這種現代奧林匹克常勝軍。
這些人通通有個共同的特色，他們都是同志、蕾絲邊、雙性人或變性人，而且在他們選擇的運動領域中出類拔萃。
猜測哪位選手是同志，而誰不是長久以來一直是八卦專欄，同性激進份子及運動迷們打發時間的消遣活動。1974年以田徑運動選手為主角寫作小說而走紅的作者，派翠西亞‧瓦倫，特意獨行的排除了現代的體育明星，轉而爬梳歷史，研究了從希臘神話時期到20世紀重要的同性運動家，以充滿感情的筆觸，及嚴謹的研究態度為同志網站Outsports.com撰寫的文章，並進一步完成本書。

Patricia Nell Warren is the landmark author of some of the most popular gay novels of all time. Each of her books has been a milestone in America's understanding and acceptance of GBLT themes. Her most renowned work, The Front Runner, has sold an estimated eleven million copies in eleven languages. The first modern story about gay love to become an international bestseller, Warren's celebrated saga of an ex-Marine track coach and his Olympics-bound athlete has engaged and inspired both gay and mainstream readers for over a quarter of a century. Warren's novels have also sold heavily to libraries and are used in numerous college courses. Wildcat Press is Ms. Warren's exclusive imprint, offering some of the best in enduring gay literature. Established in 1993, the dynamic independent publisher has released both past and present bestsellers, winning it critical acclaim. Current titles include, The Front Runner, Billy's Boy, Harlan's Race, The Fancy Dancer, The Beauty Queen, One Is The Sun, and The Wild Man. Dedicated to furthering free speech, Wildcat Press has been one of the plaintiffs for the ACLU in several recent landmark lawsuits, two of which went to the United States Supreme Court. Wildcat maintains that we are all one community regardless of race, creed, or sexual orientation, and that tolerance brings understanding and acceptance
