Michele Van Gorp
While not as famous as Sue Bird and Sheryl Swoopes, Michele Van Gorp was brave enough to come out as a gay woman while she was still an active basketball player. At the time, she performed for the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA.
Retired in 2004, Van Gorp later combined her sports experience with her life experience and started working as the assistant coach of the Glen Falls high school female basketball team. More recently, she joined Colgate University in the same role.
