Tennis players from across the country — as well as some international competitors — will be swinging away during the 2010 Peach Tennis Tournament over Labor Day weekend, hoping to bring home hardware in the way of trophies.
Sponsored by the Atlanta Team Tennis Association, the city’s LGBT tennis league, the Peach is one of the bigger tournaments in the Gay & Lesbian Tennis Alliance circuit, says Bill Bradley, ATTA’s director of tournaments. The GLTA incorporates LGBT tournaments across the world, with 38 in the U.S. this year and 22 in other parts of the world.
The Peach stands out from other tournaments in the circuit for several reasons, including the high volume of female participants.

The motto of the Atlanta Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is simple but powerful: “advocacy through economics.” On Aug. 20, the organization hosts its 12th annual Community Awards Dinner, which honors leaders, companies and organizations that bridge the two.
“We’re trying to build the gay dollar and build businesses working together and supporting each other, and the dinner definitely raises that awareness and shows the importance of looking out for each other, making sure our voices are heard, and making sure we are putting money back into our community,” says Ted Bruner, AGLCC president.
AGLCC solicits nominees from its members and others in the community in the categories of Business Woman of the Year, Business Man of the Year, Member of the Year, Corporate Ally and Guardian Angel (which goes to a nonprofit).
