I had a great time hosting WNBA star (and OUT lesbian) Brittney Griner this week at Q Center in Portland! Brittney read from her book, answered questions, signed and gave out copies of “In My Skin”, took photos, and was just generally wonderful. She even brought packs of Skittles and Cliff bars for all of the LGBTQ youth and friends in attendance. What a gem!

At one point during today’s dialogue, when Brittney Griner was asked if she had any advice for queer women coming out in sports, her answer was simple: “Don’t let them silence you.”

I encourage you to check out Brittney’s new book, “In My Skin” when it comes out next week, and be sure and show all of our LGBTQ athletes some love. This is really important work they are doing for the world!

Here I am with Brittney and Harvey:
