Wnba is gay

She made her Olympic debut last year at 32 years old and is just overall someone very worth rooting for. After drafting Paige Bueckers #1 and getting a new coach, it seems like this team is ready to take a step towards competing. This is why gender roles are hurtful. For my purposes, “Out” means confirmed by the player either in an interview or on their social media.

For those of you who are new, every year I break down the list of athletes who are openly queer in the league.

If you like great basketball, Brooklyn is the place to see it.

  • Natasha Cloud
  • Isabelle Harrison
  • Marine Johannes
  • Jonquel Jones
  • Jaylyn Sherrod
  • Breanna Stewart

Minnesota Lynx

This Lynx team is also putting together what they think could be a championship winning team.

We purposely made that a long list, but I wanted to emphasize the amount of popular players where we don’t know very much of their personal lives. I’m expecting them to have a half decent season and end up ranked somewhere in the middle of the pack. 

  • Jordan Horston
  • Erica Wheeler
  • Gabby Williams

Connecticut Sun

My hometown team was absolutely decimated in the offseason, with the vast majority of players leaving.

The only one that stuck around is Marina Mabrey, who didn’t get the trade she requested but seems to have found a home alongside rookie Saniya Rivers. In other gay news, Stefanie Dolson and her girlfriend are cute and Brittney Sykes girlfriend is the ultimate WAG, bringing fashion and support.

  • Shakira Austin
  • Stefanie Dolson
  • Emily Engstler
  • Sug Sutton
  • Brittney Sykes

Chicago Sky

The Chicago Sky are back and better than ever, baby!

Literally. If you’re more of a pure viewer of the game and prefer only knowing what’s going on while the clock is running, I do regularly make WNBA TikToks that I like to think are pretty informative! 

The league is well known to have some of the best pre-game walk-up outfits in all of professional sports, so you’re missing out if you don’t follow at least the @wnba account on Instagram.

The site has since removed that page.

Elena Delle Donne should feel empowered to be herself after winning the WNBA MVP twice, but she didn’t. That meant the players had to present themselves more traditionally-dressed (see: feminine) often with polished nails and make up – this translated to many players that it wasn’t okay to be themselves.

While the WNBA’s rival the ABL acknowledged and embraced their Lesbian fanbase early on, it was clear that the WNBA hoped to reach a broader audience.

At the end of the day as a queer Black woman you get way less money for objectively doing your job better.

The Wubble Steps Up

Whether straight or gay, the great thing about the WNAB is that they’re unified in their support of one another – not only in terms of women’s sports, but in gender equity, racial justice, and issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community as all three hit very close to home.

In terms of social justice, there was no league in the United States that did more than the W after George Floyd was murdered (and the league’s players have stepped up many times before that).

This is why pronouns matter. She joins her girlfriend Isabelle Harrison on the court for a super team that just got a bit more super. The true percentage of WNBA players that identify as gay or lesbian will always be determined by how accepting society of differences in sexuality and gender, and thus, how comfortable players are of coming out of the closet in the public eye.

That’s the case with our list too.
