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.
1.) Click the “submit a question!” button
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
If you’re feeling thoughts of self harm or are in an 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 this 100% free and confidential hotline provided by The Trevor Project. Also know that you’re not alone and we’d love to get to know you!
How do you know if you just want to become friends with a person that has the same gender identity as you or if what you’re feeling is the beginning of a crush?
"This question is difficult to answer whether we're talking about queer relationships or not.
In my opinion, I think you should spend a lot of time with that person, see if your values align, if you have similar interests, and then the feelings will eventually reveal themselves.
In my opinion, I usually go based off my love language. So for example, mine is quality time, so if I'm finding that I want to spend a lot of quality time with somebody, and I have this attraction towards them, then maybe it's something to consider that I might have romantic feelings for them.
And hopefully it's mutual, but if not it's OK, there's plenty of people in the world that you can fall in love with and catch feelings for."
