“Wow. Yes, wow.” I stand up, feeling so happy I might burst. “I want to say something,” I shout over the conversation in the locker room. It immediately pulls attention from my team. All I want to do is laugh, but if I start, I won’t know how to rein it in or control it. Giving some long, big, heartfelt speech isn’t me. So instead, I pull up the words I’ve always wanted to say and never could. “I’m gay, bitches!”
