The Out Eleven in Beijing -- all but one are women. And how are they doing?

On the athletic front, some are struggling. But on the human rights front, they're doing just fine. Indeed, we're maintaining a solid activist presence there. The two U.S. lesbian softball players, second baseman Vicki Galindo (who is bisexual) and catcher Lauren Lappin, joined with two of their teammates and 10 other Beijing athletes in protesting Chinese foreign policy affecting the Darfur situation. Galindo and Lappin signed the now-famous open letter on Darfur -- the one that got speed skater Joey Cheek barred from entering China.
