WNBA star Swoopes says she’s lesbian
Houston Comets forward Sheryl Swoopes is opening up about being a lesbian, telling a magazine that she’s “tired of having to hide my feelings about the person I care about.”
Swoopes, honored last month as the WNBA’s Most Valuable Player, told ESPN The Magazine for a story on newsstands Wednesday that she didn’t always know she was gay and fears that coming out could jeopardize her status as a role model. - MSNBC

to me it does not matter that Sheryl Swoopes is gay. She will always be one of my role models because i play basketball too. She is still the best and you cant take that away from her
