Open or not, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice the preponderance of gay athletes, particularly in women's sports. Take a look at your roster - at least 40 percent of its members are probably gay. And no one cares. It's a great development among this generation, IMO.
10% would be on the higher end of the estimated range, assuming you're legitimately discussing.

Women's lacrosse is very open to gay players, in fact at the college level from what I understand it may even be majority in some places. I was told this by a straight college player is was one of one or two straight women on her team.

What Catholic high school doesn’t have openly gay kids?
Probably. The Heights and Prep.

Why does he even want to tell his teammates? They don't want to know about it. Sounds like this is really all about him and his urge to say "look at me I'm special, don't you think I'm great?"
Well Said.
Don’t be ridiculous. My youngest came out at 14. He is 20 now. Of course friends and teammates knew he was gay. Kids talk about boyfriends/girlfriends. It’s not about “look at me”. It’s about being yourself around your friends. It was never an issue for my son. Kids do not care. Not sure why the adults in the room don’t get this. Even in rural Mississippi where my son came out, kids did not care.
16 y/o here. I don’t associate myself with gay kids, and just about every lacrosse player my age is the same. Just don’t say that shit in front of parents because yo Karen’s will get mad.
Why would a 16 y/o be on DCUM? I call BS on this. That said, I think the sentiment is probably common that kids say one thing in public and another in private. I think the private calls of fag or other derogatory term eventually get out and do nothing but hurt the kids who just want to be treated like any other.
