About This Tool

A number of talented athletes prove that sexual orientation has nothing to do with athletic ability. In recent years, the progress of the LGBTQ+ community has been accelerating, but competitive sports is still a particularly difficult field that runs counter to LGBTQ+ friendly ideals. Young athletes often hide their sexual orientation because they are worried that fans and coaches will treat them differently or suffer unfair treatment in the sports field.

Do you know any athletes who came out? Here the random tool lists 53 great athletes who are gay and openly support the LGBTQ+ community for a long time, from basketball players to baseball players and more sports, such as Brian Boitano, Billie Jean King, Greg Louganis, etc.
