I have yet to meet 49ers assistant Katie Sowers, but I will. I want to shake hands with the woman who broke through a glass ceiling when she became the league’s second female assistant a week ago, then came back a few days later and tore right through another taboo topic.

The LGBT and the NFL.
Who said the two could never share a locker room? Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Haven’t we been hearing this for decades?
Sowers apparently never got the message. In an interview published Tuesday with the website Outsports, she revealed that she is a lesbian, which makes her the first openly gay coach in any of the major professional sports.
