Hi There! We're so happy you're here!
We exist, we’re here, and you are, too.

We wanted to create a place where queer athletes can tell their stories, or, if they haven’t quite written them yet (uhh, welcome to the club!), ask questions to help discover themselves.
To do that, click the “Ask A Question!” button and fill the box with whatever you’re wondering. They could be questions around new feelings, expressing yourself to your coaches or teammates, or general confusion you may have. We’ve partnered with some incredible queer pro athletes — check our socials to see who will be answering each week of October! — who will do their best to answer and express their perspectives and thoughts to the best of their ability.

Feeling safe is of the utmost importance, so it’s 100% anonymous; you’ll never be asked to give your name or email. And we do have some guidelines:

• No hate. We vet these before they reach our pros and if they include any hateful or hurtful words, they’re going in the trash.
• Your questions don’t have to be sports related! But if they are, you’re asking folks who can relate to that.
• Finally, there are no dumb questions! Sometimes shame prevents us from expressing what’s racing through our heads; there is no shame here. Ask away!

We’re excited to hear from you and honored to be part of your journey. We’ll be here in the meantime.

Together, Always,

Your Queer Friends at
UNINTERRUPTED and Athlete Ally
SAFETY NOTE: Neither us nor the athletes answering these questions are mental health care professionals. If you’re feeling thoughts of self harm, or are in immediate crisis, please don’t send a message through the portal because we won’t know how to get in contact with you.

Instead, call or text 988, or go to the 988 Lifeline Crisis Chat to be immediately connected to a 24/7/365 crisis counselor for emotional support.

You’re not alone.
