Connecticut Sun coach Curt Miller: Visibility and representation matters for gay men in sports – Hartford Courant

Nassib’s announcement, which he made on Instagram Monday as Pride Month draws to a close, made him the first active NFL player to come out as gay. According to Fanatics, his jersey was the top-selling NFL item Monday and Tuesday. VandeWettering, who joined Wisconsin’s staff in 2017, came out in a blog post Thursday and is thought to be the only openly gay man on a Division I men’s college basketball staff.
