His best-selling autobiography, Breaking the Surface, is a revealing account of a man struggling with far more than simply striving to be a great athlete. For years, Louganis' cheerful public persona never hinted at the personal troubles he has had to surmount - his HIV diagnosis, coming out as a gay man, domestic violence, substance abuse and dyslexia. Louganis has confronted all of these challenges in a positive way and has honestly shared his adversities with people everywhere. More than just a great athlete, Greg Louganis also co-hosted segments on Good Morning America during the Atlanta Olympics, a first for an openly gay athlete. His video, Looking to the Light, is a feature length visual diary of his life after Breaking the Surface and details how his story has influenced so many people. His recent book, For the Life of Your Dog, is about the challenges and joys of living with and caring for dogs, one of Greg's favorite pursuits.
Today, Greg Louganis speaks out on the obstacles he has overcome with a warmth and grace that embody the Olympic spirit. A popular speaker for universities, community associations, health care organizations and corporate groups, his honesty and message of tolerance and understanding have inspired millions around the world.
