GERALD BOSTOCK: victor in a landmark Supreme Court case for LGBTQ rights, softball player and sports fan
b'
On June 15, the Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, that social worker GERALD BOSTOCK was wrongly fired for being gay. His employer had learned of Bostock\'s sexual orientation because he played in an LGBTQ softball league. Bostock discusses what he likes about the sport, including how it helped him in recovering from cancer. "It\'s a human thing to want to be social and be part of something," Bostock (standing, second from left, in this Havoc softball team photo) says of the camaraderie he enjoys in sports. He\'s a fan of the Atlanta Braves -- as a kid, he was a Junior Brave -- and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. He warmly speaks of taking children in foster care to games. Some, he says, had never been.
