Travis, known for his right-leaning views, suggested that Clark may be facing mistreatment due to her sexuality. He stated, " Caitlin Clark is a white heterosexual woman in a Black lesbian league and they resent and are jealous of all of the attention and the shoe deal that she got. Travis went on to theorize that the league's resentment towards Clark stems from her being in a relationship with a former Iowa men's basketball player, which contrasts with the sexual orientation of many WNBA players. They don't like her cause she's white and they don't like her cause she's straight.
Which WNBA players are gay and how many of them are gay? Well, when Autostraddle published our very first list of out gay WNBA players several years back, it held merely 15 names. The legendary Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle, welcomed a baby boy just before the Olympics last year. Griner became the first out gay college player drafted to the WNBA when she went first to the Phoenix Mercury in , and was traded to the Dream ahead of the season.
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 exciting as the on-court display of skills. No matter how masculine presenting someone is, I will not be speculating! In terms of queer things to know, Chelsea Gray and her wife Tipsea Moorer are absolutely adorable together.
