Gay wnba coaches
Curt Miller has lived with no shame or avoid as an openly homosexual basketball coach for years.
His authenticity, self-love, and self-acceptance made him a team and fan favorite in basketball.
But he didn’t always want that to be the only way people defined him.
“This month, Event Month is so crucial to me because, for the longest time, I didn’t want to be known as ‘the male lover coach,’” Miller said. “I wanted to be acknowledged as the successful coach. As I look at the back of my career now, I’ve show up full circle to where I do want my legacy to be that I successfully navigated team sports at the top level as a male lover male.
“My legacy down the stretch of my career is no longer wins and championships. I really have transitioned into my legacy,” Miller continued. “I do want to utilize my platform. I do want to use my visibility and representation as a gay male so that you can not only reach the pinnacle of pro sports as a gay male – you can thrive at it.”
“I want to be that role model for the next generations of gay male coaches that are right now wondering if they can endure to chase their imagine. I want them to know that they certainly can.”

Lesbian Professional Basketball Players and Coaches
Lesbian basketball players have a considerable presence in the sport. Among the 25 players the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) identified as the league’s greatest of all time, nine identify as queer woman representing more than one-third. Household names in the sport include Sue Bird,Elena Delle Donne, Brittney Griner, Sheryl Swoopes, and Sue Wicks.
The vast majority of lesbian basketball players hail from the United States. This reflects the fact the sports home base is in that land and the only women's professional basketball league, the WNBA, is located in the United States.
American Carol Blazejowski, the now-retired coach of the WNBA basketball team Recent York Liberty, is considered to be the first woman loving woman coach of any professional sports team.
Wheelchair basketball also has a fine representation of sapphic basketball players.
Lesbian basketball players own been members of Olympic Gold teams, World Championship teams, WNBA Championship teams, and National Championship teams. Similarly, woman loving woman coaching presence has been in all of these areas of the game. Several players and coaches h
Welcome to my annual Who’s Male lover in the WNBA Report! For those of you who are new, every year I destroy down the list of athletes who are openly queer in the league. As a homosexual person who has played basketball my entire life, the off-court drama is always equally as exciting as the on-court demonstrate of skills. Knowing who’s lgbtq+ and who’s dating who only adds to that for me. 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 attractive informative!
The league is well recognizable 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. Here’s a complete list of all out gay players in the league, broken down by team. For my purposes, “Out” means confirmed by the player either in an interview or on their social media. No matter how masculine presenting someone is, I will not be speculating!

| This isn't the main reason why she was fired. You don't fire the chief coach midseason unless they are: a) losing and should be winning, or b) a dramatic incident, which I haven't heard of. Jenny Boucek had been coaching in Sacramento for how long? Clearly this wasn't enough of an issue to get her fired. It was probably a contributing factor/complaint. She doesn't strike me as a bad/hateful/outwardly intolerant person, and with my knowledge, I have respect for her and her views. It's way too much of a stretch to assume she was trying to "straighten out" lesbian players. I can definitely see how "soul food" sessions and whatever else could have been irritating - they are basketball players and shouldn't be required to participate in (borderline) religious things in the context of their jobs. I concur with others' sentiments - "godliness" isn't the prime factor in my enjoyment in forms of entertainment. And, the goals of a coach should be to win, to | |
