On Wednesday, Mystics center Stefanie Dolson announced that she is gay in an article co-written with ESPN writer Katie Barnes. The article is part of ESPN Magazine's series on the WNBA's 20th season.
In the article, Dolson stated her reason for coming out which was in order to lead an "authentic life in the open."
Dolson also talked about how the Mystics locker room is regarding players who are gay or straight, and basically why she is the outgoing young lady that she is. After all, she often has purple hair! Anyway, here's the quote:
Within our team, most people are comfortable with players freely expressing who they are.
