A GAY GIRL’S GUI TO THE 2023 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

It will be a glor month to be a gay fan. Last time at the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the Netherlands lay claim to the honor of beg the team wh the most out LGBTQ players, but this year Atralia boasts 10 out players and overtak them for the tle of Gayt Team 2k23.

Ireland’s historic entry to the tournament marks another triumph for out midfielr Sead Farrelly, whose natnal team but and 2023 return to the NWSL e more than six years after retirg om soccer the wake of systemic homophobic and sexual abe wh the league, which the Athletic first reported on 2021. The Thunr waived veteran forward Rudy Gay on Wednday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported, th openg up a roster spot for Oklahoma Cy to sign Atralian wg Jack Whe. Before waivg Gay, the Thunr was maxed out at 21 players, which is why the reported signg of Whe had yet to be falized.

The Thunr’s cisn to waive Gay me as no surprise. OKC acquired Gay, along wh TyTy Washgton Jr., Usman Gaba and a 2026 send-round pick, om the Hawks on July 12 exchange for Patty Mills.

THUNR WAIV RUDY GAY, PER REPORT, CLEARG WAY FOR JACK WHE

The Thunr was willg to take on Gay’s $6. Gay ranks nth among active players pots (17, 642) and fifth gam played (1, 120). The thg that I anticipated most eagerly were the attacks on me om what remas of ‘the gay prs’.

The gay prs had a purpose the 1970s and ‘80s.

In the same way the gay prs has staggered on, maly onle, long after should have shut up shop.

THE WHE LI OF THE GAY PRS

It ek out an existence, wh hardly any rears, payg s ntributors nothg or almost nothg, tryg to whip up the gays over niche issu of trans rights, and matag a skeleton staff paid lnch bash napés and ee ems sent to them for review.

Naturally they have bee ans of the inty-polics movements: ridiculo, ill-thkg, ‘tersectnal’ publitns which, bee the gay rights battle is basilly won, try to whip their rears up to a rage about polil issu that have nothg to do wh gays.

This is the pop sger who me out as gay a few years ago, me out as ‘genrqueer’ a uple of years after that and last week me out as ‘non-bary’. Anyhow – the aftermath of the discsn the gay prs cid to get all over this.

IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?

Meanwhile Ameri’s leadg gay news se ‘Advote’ went wh:. In neher publitn, spanng both sis of the Atlantic, did eher publitn tell s rears that I am gay. Ined that I was the only gay the stud on this ocsn.

‘[They] prevly me out as gay, me out a b later as genrqueer, [they] now say [they’re] non-bary, which means among other thgs [they] want to have plural pronouns ed of [them]. As happens I followed Afua by potg out that if I wanted to play the sort of game she and other SJWs play I would say I was threatened by bee people like Smh are ‘disappearg gay people. ’ As happens, Pk News and Advote might be acced of dog the same thg ‘disappearg’ me and turng the only gay man the discsn to a right-wg homophobe who jt got epilly schooled by all the great heterosexuals.

In orr to pretend that such a thg as ‘non-bary’ exists the leadg gay publitns Ameri and Bra have chosen to pretend that I am not gay, that I didn’t e the rrect words I did and that my opponent did not e the rrect words that she did.

GAY CULTURE HAS GROWN TOXIC WH UNCHECKED PRIVILEGE. IT'S TIME FOR TO RET

A fact that the lyg remnants of the gay prs have jt generoly monstrated.

But to actually be lockg ey wh Ellen and hold her, shakg hands as she said, "I'm gay, " on natnal televisn and for the first time, as she has shared outloud that way publicly, was such a profoundly extraordary and timate gift to that moment that I will forever be grateful for. One such piece — and a highly-predictable one, at that — is veteran forward Rudy Gay, who was recently waived by the Oklahoma Cy Thunr, after beg ed as filler two different offseason tras: first when the Utah Jazz shipped him to the Atlanta Hawks the John Colls al, and then when the Hawks sent him to the Thunr the Patty Mills tra. Dpe beg a 17-year veteran — he was drafted one year after Chris Pl, and one pick ahead of Patrick O’Bryant — Gay has never shared an NBA locker room wh any Warrrs.

Not only have they played (and ached) agast him for years, but Gay was teammat wh Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the Team USA squad that won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and also teammat wh Curry (and Andre Iguodala) on the gold medal-wng 2010 team. Perhaps most importantly, Gay spent four seasons — four recent seasons, crilly — playg for the San Anton Spurs and Steve Kerr’s mentor, Gregg Popovich. If the Warrrs are terted Gay, you n bet that Kerr and Pop have talked about , and about how he handled the swch om high-volume starter/srer to veteran bench piece.
