Brittney Griner acknowledges she's a Lesbian; "just be who you are"

Brittney Griner was selected with the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft on Tuesday night, and in a series of interviews she conducted on Wednesday, Griner acknowledged that she is a lesbian.

Griner said that she’s been out, but Wednesday was the first time that she has talked about it so candidly and publicly.

“It’s just being who you are,” Griner told SI.com. “Don’t worry about what other people are going to say, because they’re always going to say something, but, if you’re just true to yourself, let that shine through. Don’t hide who you really are.”

Griner also told SI.com that the fact that she’s a famous athlete had no affect on her decision to remain out.

Wish she had done it earlier to make all the fundie heads at Baylor explode.

And isn't she still enrolled at Baylor, where even heterosex is banned because it might lead to dancing?
