Be Gay. Do Sports.
Lesbians and queer women have always been central to sports history: as spectators and superfans of woefully undervalued women’s leagues, as out athletes paving the way for more inclusion and visibility, as diligent, gregarious builders of community through recreational and intramural team sports, and as leaders in the fights for equal pay.
The new issue of the Autostraddle Print Magazine is about all of that, and the future, too — full of stories that will resonate with diehard fans and athletes as well as the staunchly ambivalent. The narratives in these pages speak to the moments when sport is about so much more than the game being played. Because sports connect us, bring together communities and encourage self-discovery. In a gay way, obviously.
