Is christie sides gay

Welcome to my annual Who’s Gay in the WNBA Report! For those of you who are new, every year I break down the list of athletes who are openly queer in the league. As a queer person who has played basketball my entire life, the off-court drama is always equally as invigorating as the on-court display of skills. Knowing who’s lgbtq+ and who’s virtual 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 form WNBA TikToks that I like to think are adorable 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 obey 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!

So hold that in thought when I illustrate you what else happened in the W yesterday, after the Indiana Fever beat the Dallas Wings, and the 2019 All-Star Game MVP Erica Wheeler gathered her friends, family, and teammates all around her so that she could propose to her girlfriend Danielle (because when you know, you know).

Natalie shared this video in Slack last night, so it was the first thing I saw when I opened the app this morning, and I was sobbing before I was even fully awake! Thinking about how the WNBA is one of the most influential sports leagues in the entire world, and how little kids — and grown women and men, and grandmas and grandpas, too — simply cannot get enough of these basketball players! Thinking about how hungry folks are for W content, and how these players own been changing hearts and minds for over two decade
