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!
I have a crush on this girl on my team, and I want to ask her out, but I don't know if she is into girls. Do you have any tips for asking someone their sexuality without it being awkward?
"This question is always a little tricky.
Unfortunately, it's always a little awkward when you're inquiring to see if someone is interested in you because there's that little fear of rejection that we all have, and it's totally normal.
I think you can if you have this relationship and if you have this comfort level, you can pull this person in private and ask them if they'd ever be interested in dating girls. You can share a little bit about your experience and say that you date girls.
And then, if you want, you can bluntly ask them if they'd ever be interested in going out. I think that's totally fine, and if they say no, no pressure, that's totally OK. Would love to maintain our friendship."
