The Warwick Rowers Stripped (Again) to Deliver a Message to Trump & Pence

The Warwick Rowers, our frequently nude allies from the UK, stripped down to film a message for the "those in power."

The group raises money for LGBT charities by selling calendars and coffee table books featuring the strapping young lads nude as a part of their campaign to combat homophobia by attempting to bridge the traditional exclusionary divide between sport and LGBTQ identities.

Watch the video and read the transcript below:

We are the Warwick Rowers. And this is Westminster, our country’s main seat of power. It’s London, it’s December and it’s not that warm but we are here because we have a message for the new leadership team in the United States and for all leaders around the world. As straight allies, we believe that everyone should have the same human rights, regardless of gender or sexual identity. And as athletes, we believe that sport can play a vital role in creating an inclusive, healthy and happy world for everyone. This year, as every year, we have shed our clothes as a symbol of breaking down barriers, a demonstration of the contribution that sport can make to health and wellbeing, and as a reminder that we are all equals in this challenging journey called life. So, President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence, we’re sending you our world famous calendar. In it, as here, we stand naked in front of the world to do what we can to make a difference. In turn, we call on you, and everyone else in positions of power, to stand before the world and show your commitment to equality, inclusion and human rights. And you don’t even have to get naked. We’ve already done that bit for you.
