Minnesota Lynx center Michelle Van Gorp is a lesbian
At 6 feet 6, Michelle Van Gorp stood out among women, even female basketball players. On Friday, she stood out again, but for reasons having more to do with her heart than her height. Van Gorp, a center on the Minnesota Lynx basketball team, said she's a lesbian, and representatives of Twin Cities gay and lesbian groups cheered. She didn't call a news conference or send out press releases. She simply answered questions about her sexuality from a reporter for Lavender magazine, a voice of the gay and lesbian community. The article appeared Friday. "It's not anything I ever hid,'' Van Gorp said. "I'm not coming out; I've been out for a long time.''
