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.

Your Queer Friends @ UNINTERRUPTED

What’s your favorite part of being queer?
Hi Friend,
My favorite part about being queer is the community. Coming from a team sport, being queer feels like being on another team. Everyone comes together to support each other through the hard times and celebrate each other in our victories.
The LGBTQ+ community is so diverse, yet we still find a way to find unity, solidarity, and respect for one another, and that inspires me. I think all communities could learn something from the values the queer community exemplifies. And though no community is perfect, I think that it’s pretty cool that to be queer truly means to be you and to be free.
