This week on This | Just | In 

Justin sits down with 4 time Olympic Gold Medalist in Diving, Greg Louganis.  

Coming up on the channel: 
I will also be releasing a 3 part series with Greg, starting May 2nd, focusing on what it was like winning back to back Gold Medals at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics.  More specifically, Greg and I dive into thoughts about being a closeted gay professional athlete, hitting his head on the diving board in 1988, and the controversy that stirred, as well as later coming out as an openly gay and HIV positive athlete.  

Lots more of Greg on the Gay Men Channel…stay tuned!
