Most Famous Gay Athletes

3. Michele Van Gorp

When Michele Van Gorp publicly announced that she was a lesbian in 2004, she took on the pressure and honour of becoming the first homosexual WNBA player. However, her adherence to the LGBT community didn’t affect her career whatsoever: as the first Duke player to ever be recruited for the WNBA, Van Gorp enjoyed her success on the Minnesota Lynx team, and is now the director of recruiting operations for Duke’s Blue Devils.
