Drink For Equality With Ben Cohen

British rugby star and passionate straight ally Ben Cohen is teaming up with gay and gay-friendly rugby clubs for a series of events called "Beer With Ben," which will raise money for GLSEN. The Advocate reports:

The Ben Cohen Acceptance Tour will visit Atlanta, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., in May to raise awareness and funds, and encourage people to stand up against homophobia, bullying and standing up for equality, tolerance and mutual respect. The Acceptance Tour 2011 will aid the activities of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network.

The tour begins in the UK next month.
