Athletes
Amélie Mauresmo
She created controversy by becoming the first pro player to openly discuss
her lesbian identity since Martina Navratilova. Her official site includes
bio info, news, and a fan club. It's available both in French and in English.
Billy
Bean
Baseball is one of the most difficult sports in which to be gay.
The players live together on the road and, well, it's not easy. You know
the "jock" culture.
Rudy
Galindo
From Salon, "Former U.S. figure skating champion Rudy
Galindo talks about the Salt Lake Olympics, the sport's effeminate image and the
reactions to his coming out. And no, they're not."
Billie Jean King
Neither her WIC bio or
"Women's
Sports Legends Online" mention it, but yes, she's a
lesbian. Her official site, linked above, is still under construction at
the moment.

The Olympic Diver's official site.

Pichler

She plays professional women's football, and upset the league when she
came out. Puh-leaze!.
