PICS: These awesome athletes go nude to fight homophobia

WARNING: This article contains nudity.

Cape Town – By now everyone has heard of the amazing British rowers from the University of Warwick.

The boys like to take off all their clothes for a very, very good cause.

Since 2009 they’ve gone fully nude in their annual calendar to raise money in fight against homophobia. The campaign challenges homophobia in sport and funds raised in the sales of the calendars go to Sport Allies.

We fully support the Warwick rowers and applaud their efforts to stop hate – because nobody should be afraid of anyone else’s sexuality.

Here are some snippets from the shoot that they guys shared on their Twitter account:
