Thank you for this important point. I'm grateful for this conversation, here and elsewhere on the internet, from thoughtful and compassionate voices like Imani Boyette, Monique Currie, etc.

It has been a little disheartening to read some posts in this thread perpetuating stereotypes like "many lesbians are sexually aggressive" - I felt my chest get tight and I thought, But that's not me, that's not fair. You don't even know me. And reading an assertion that many Americans find homosexuality distasteful was also depleting. Fortunately, that doesn't describe any American I've had the pleasure of meeting and befriending in person.

I wish that readers of Wiggins' article would see the wonderful WNBA faces I see when I think of openly gay players, like: Stefanie Dolson. Seimone Augustus. Elena Delle Donne. Angel McCoughtry. And others... A mix of playing styles and personalities too diverse to sum up with a statistic. Although it can probably be said that of all of them were outstanding college players in their time.
