It's that time again for the 2024 WNBA draft, and we couldn't be more excited to see how this season will play out!
Yes we love us some WNBA, but just how LGBTQ+ is it? The answer: Very!
According to Interbasket, as of 2022, nearly 30% of the league identified as queer, which was down from the 38% back in 2019. The numbers have also dwindled just a tad coming into 2024, with some players like Riquna Williams and Amanda Zahui B. not returning this year.
But still, those numbers are pretty great, and who knows how they will look after the draft. Speaking of which, ahead of tonight's draft, we've compiled a list of the 37 active players who identify as queer to celebrate the inclusiveness the sport provides. Scroll through to see who's playing this year, as well as who they're currently slated to play for.
