Rockdog mainstay and veteran (since '96 y'all), Francis Broome is featured in an article in this month's SWERV Magazine.

SWERV is a new nationally-published magazine centered around Black, Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, & Transgenders. Each issue of SWERV covers performing arts, music, literature, film, television, sports, community activism and politics within the African-American community.

In PORTRAIT OF A ROCKDOG, the, ahem, 35-year old Broome talks everything from growing up in Barbados, the Rockdogs, coming out, Shirts & Skins, reality show-apprehension, his role in HIV prevention, and much more.

It's truly a great read on the normally-introverted, two-time Gay Game gold-medalist, so pick up the June (SUMMER SPORTS & SWIMWEAR ISSUE) issue of SWERV to hear what he has to say.

The June issue hit stands on June 12, 2009. For more information, check out SWERV Magazine's Official Site (swervmag.com), SWERV's MySpace page or Francis' Rockdog Profile Page.
