WNBA 2020: We Came, We Watched Basketball, and Oh How We Thirsted
Thank you for cheering with me and thirsting with me and I hope to see you back here for more next season.
It’s Time for the WNBA Finals, You Gays!
Instead of a standard matchup preview, because that’s not really my thing, I thought we’d recap some of the out players on each team and what to watch for from each of them.
Alyssa Thomas Is Carrying The Sun Through The WNBA Playoffs — But She Shouldn’t Have To
As a sports fan, I’m conflicted. I want to watch Thomas do improbable things. The games are better and more exciting with her in them—I’m fairly convinced that had she been able to stay in Tuesday, the Sun would have swept the Aces in this series and done it handily. She is hands down my favorite player to watch play basketball. And yet I want her to be able to take care of herself, to rest, to get the surgery she needs so she can be even better and so that she doesn’t have to be in pain.

Even From Outside the WNBA Wubble, Natasha Cloud Is a Force of Conscience
The Mystics guard chose to sit out the 2020 season in order to be in the fight for racial justice and because, as she told The Athletic, “I can’t compartmentalize having the luxury of dribbling a basketball while people who look like me are being shot and killed every single day, many by the hands of police.”
Shocking Revelation: WNBA Players Don’t Exist to Earn the Approval of Men
This is a column dedicated to all gay WNBA content all the time — and yes, that includes queer thirst. And boy, is there a lot of thirst to be had when it comes to W players. But apparently, not everyone got the memo.

When the WNBA asks the public to “say her name,” they mean Black trans women, too.

A Quick Guide to Choosing The Gayest WNBA Team to Root for This Season
This column aims to show you what you’ve been missing by not watching these women and, if you have, I hope you’ll find the queer lens on the league you’ve been looking for here. We’ll cover real stuff, like the fact that the WNBA is the only professional league to ensure their social justice work is trans inclusive, alongside lighter stuff, like thirst traps and queer Daddy content.
The Olympics Are Coming
Where are my children? What time is it? How big is an official regulation rugby pitch? I will know the answer to one of these questions.
Meet the Queer and Trans Women Taking Over Professional Wrestling
As a child, I loved watching wrestling. As I got older, however, the sport began to change, and the storylines became isolating. Fortunately, both fans and other wrestlers alike have made it clear that wrestling is no longer a business where bigotry is going to be tolerated.

Billie Jean King Is This Week’s Modern LGBTQ Trailerblazer #WCW
Billie Jean King will go down as one of the greatest tennis players — one of the greatest athletes, actually — of all time. 39 Grand Slam titles. 20 Wimbledon victories.
