what percentage of wnba players are gay

The percentage of WNBA players who identify as LGBTQ+ varies depending on the source. Candice Wiggins, a former WNBA player, claimed in a 2017 interview that "98 percent" of the WNBA is gay. However, more recent studies suggest a lower percentage. In the 2022 WNBA season, 28.7% of players identified as LGBTQ+ . As of 2022, 20% of players on WNBA rosters are publicly out as LGBTQ+ . In 2018, 32% of WNBA All-Stars were publicly out. As of May 2023, there are 39 out gay players in the WNBA. It is important to note that these numbers are not definitive and may not represent the entire league.
