[quote=Anonymous]OP did ask a couple of questions that are fairly clear and then made a couple of assumptions.
I am sure somewhere there are openly gay players in either boys or girls lacrosse. Do I know for a fact? No, nor do I care. If they can play, I don't care about their skin color, sexual orientation or if they like to eat vegetarian.
Stories like Carl Nassib will fail to be headlines when the clicks that the story generates no longer bring in enough money for the media to allocate space to such an article. 
OP does need to understand the difference between a feeling and thought- "I feel like on my sons team that it perhaps wouldn't be accepted which makes me sad but its just the vibe I get."
You need to replace that word feel with "think" - You think they would not accept and THAT makes you sad. In other words the feeling you had is sad and that is because of your thought. Taking that further- Have you ever had a wrong thought? A wrong vibe? We all have. You are getting sad over a thought that you cannot confirm. You say that you are the parent of 1 player, are you a coach? are you on the team? Do you spend hours with the team? Do you know them inside and out? Or, are you a parent that is sitting on the other sideline during games, picking up a kid from practice? In other words, are you sitting in the cheap seats making a judgement of players and coaches based on a vibe you get from very little interaction with the individual players and team as a whole?
You then seem to extrapolate your kids team of 20+ into the 1000's of kids who play lacrosse.
