Kayla mcbride gay
Welcome to my annual Who’s Gay in the WNBA Report! For those of you who are modern, every year I split 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 exciting as the on-court display 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 create WNBA TikToks that I like to think are pretty informative!
The league is well known to contain some of the finest pre-game walk-up outfits in all of professional sports, so you’re missing out if you don’t pursue 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!

Which WNBA players are gay and how many of them are gay? Good, when Autostraddle published our very first list of out gay WNBA players several years help, it held merely 15 names. Last season, that number had climbed to 38, although two of the players on last year’s list ended up getting waived from their teams shortly into the season, leaving us with 36. But this year, despite losing a lot of last year’s roster, we continue to win with even more gay players, coming in at 44 so far this year.

Is Kayla McBride Married? Details on Lynx Star’s Personal Experience, Parents and More
Holding on to the finger of father LaMont, a four-year-old with two pigtails attended a basketball camp in Burton Park. And this is when her love affair with the game began. Fast forward 28 years, and that little kid from Erie, Pennsylvania is now a domesticated name in Minnesota. A veteran of the sport, Kayla McBride hardly needs any introduction. Ever since her advent into the professional world, the 4× WNBA All-Star has been a tremendous asset regardless of any franchise she’s been a part of.
But, she took things up a notch this moment around when she led the Lynx to become first-time champions of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup. While it was an absolute delight for many to see her succeed professionally, others are wondering if things are sailing so smoothly for her personally as well.
Despite her so many social engagements, there is nothing conclusive about her married life. Still, there are plenty of people in her life who are really close to her heart. Kayla McBride was born June 25, 1992, and is the first child of LaMont and LuAnn McBride. Her father used to function as an official in high institution games
Liberty star Breanna Stewart faces homophobic threat during WNBA finals
The Recent York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx are in the thick of the WNBA finals, drawing the best WNBA TV ratings in a whopping 23 years.

“I hope someone shoots your wife dead, f–k you d—es,” the email stated, according to the New York Post, which first reported on the incident. “I hope you both die.”
The email was anonymous, but sources told the New York Post that it was delivered from an email address known to forward hateful messages.
Casademont entered the NYPD’s 78th Precinct in Brooklyn on Oct. 10 to share the email with authorities, according to the New York Post, though the NYPD told Gay Municipality News that the email was received in the area covering the 84th Precinct.
