LGBTQ and the Royals

If there is one thing that is not associated with the Royals of the world, it is the LGBTQ community. Though the Royals, specifically the British Royals, have been advocates and supporters of the community, it is very rarely known if any member of that Royal family are members of the LGBTQ family. Though it is not openly discussed, a notable LGBTQ royal is Lord Ivar Mountbatten, who is the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II.

Athletes and the LGBTQ Community

When it comes to big-name athletes, LGBTQ representation has often been considered taboo. Some significant athletes who have come out as a member of the LGBTQ community include Sheryl Swoopes, Billie Jean King and, more recently, decathlete, Bruce Jenner, who transitioned to Caitlyn Jenner. There is still much more that needs to be done to promote respect and tolerance, but these athletes are helping pave the way.
