Is kelsey plum gay

And soccer, you just don’t see that just based on how they look.”

You can see why choosing to come out as LGBTQ+ isn’t a simple decision as “just be yourself” – especially if you’re a Black woman. And by that, I mean Courtney Vandersloot is back and now she has a baby. She joins her girlfriend Isabelle Harrison on the court for a super team that just got a bit more super.

The Wubble was so active on those fronts that ESPN created a documentary about the atmosphere that was created in their own self-contained movement.

Though there is a lot of internalized and systemic homophobia in the WNBA to unpack and remove, it’s no surprise that the league goes big during Pride month.

Bueckers is wildly talented and should complement Ogunbowale well in the backcourt, with defensive champion Carrington and a healed Maddy Siegrist holding down the 3/4 positions. She made her Olympic debut last year at 32 years old and is just overall someone very worth rooting for. That leaves Kahleah Copper as the remaining star.

I have a little crush, if you couldn’t tell.

Sami Whitcomb rounds out this team at point guard. Off the court, she has a wife and kids that are incredibly cute. It’s extremely unusual to be so well-known yet this basic information isn’t available.

If the lack of online information isn’t just for general privacy concerns, we can safely assume that much of that dearth of information is to protect their own safety, the well-being of partners, their families and careers.

Literally. Led by Unrivaled founder Napheesa Collier, they could be really good! 

This team’s gay players also make a huge difference on the court for the Lynx.

Knowing who’s gay and who’s dating who only adds to that for me. In addition to sexuality we should also remember that almost all WNBA players identify as female (gender) shouldn’t forget that approximately 80% of the league is Black (race) and as you read this know that each of these identities has faced (and is facing) discriminated.

Let’s acknowledge that being a Black woman already puts you at a major disadvantage when it comes to media coverage, endorsements and marketing opportunities.

God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends. It’s not a coincidence that more players are comfortable being out about their sexuality in 2022 than they were in 1997. “It’s hot in that closet also!”

The New York Liberty’s Sue Wicks was the first player to formally and publicly come out in 2002.

Byears and Wicks then Brittany Griner in 2013 paved the path for current players like Sue Bird, Layshia Clarendon, Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Courtney Williams, Dewanna Bonner and Elena Delle Donne to be comfortable enough to come out.

Your post-career opportunities. This is what happened with 2021 league MVP Jonquel Jones.
