In the LGBT community, the month of June is widely anticipated because it is LGBT Pride Month. This year, the WNBA has joined in the celebration by making a landmark contribution to LGBT rights awareness, becoming the first major league sport to market to the group, with its new campaign, WNBA Pride.
“GLSEN [Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network] and our chapters are proud to continue our partnership with the WNBA during LGBT Pride Month,” said GLSEN Executive Director Eliza Byard. “The WNBA is a sports leader in creating diverse and inclusive environments for all players and fans, and the league’s commitment to supporting the LGBT community is sending a powerful message of respect to youth across the country.”
