Everyone involved in this site — including, yes, the person writing this — is either queer themselves or a cool-as$ ally. We work for an athlete storytelling company, but the truth is there aren’t many stories about us.
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.

2.) 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 the schedule to see who will be answering each week of Pride month! — 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:
We’re excited to hear from you and honored to be part of your journey. We’ll be here in the meantime.
Today, Tomorrow, Always,
Your Queer Friends @ UNINTERRUPTED

I go to a catholic highschool so I am the only one on my team who is queer. I struggle to be myself and I don't have the confidence that I need to do what I want to do in life. Do you have any advice?
Hi!
I know how you feel. I went to a Catholic high school too and struggled to figure out who I was outside of being told who I should be. My advice would be to find your tribe. Find people who uplift you and support you and give you the space to find yourself. If you can’t find that in school maybe find an online group that resonates with you. Also, teenage years can be rough. Give yourself lots of grace and room to make mistakes. Sometimes, you just need more time to figure it all out.
