We Are Not All Lesbians
In college women athletics there is a very prevalent stereotype. This stereotype is projected at the women athletes that have more masculine characteristics and traits. People think these athletes are homosexuals because of their masculine attributes and carry this stereotype out on all college women athletes. But in reality this stereotype is incorrect. College women athletes are mostly all heterosexuals. On average there are only 2 homosexual's out of 25 females on each women's sports team. But even though there is only one or two homosexuals on a team people from the outside look at these teams as all homosexuals and this really grinds some people gears. This photo I am posting is to challenge the stereotype on college women athletes. In this photo is one of my fellow teammates and her boyfriend. They have been dating for over a year and are very happy together. I just want people to know even though there is this stereotype out there that not every college women athlete is gay. I personally have nothing against these homosexuals and want everyone reading this blog to know that. I would just really like people to understand that this stereotype is very misleading and does not relate to all women college athletes.
