According to a study in 2022, 28.7% of WNBA players identify as LGBTQ, which includes gay, lesbian, trans, or queer. However, in a 2017 interview, retired WNBA player Candice Wiggins claimed that "98 percent" of the WNBA is gay. This claim has been disputed and is not supported by any reliable data. In 2022, Outsports reported that 20% of WNBA players on current rosters are publicly out as LGBTQ. The same report also mentioned that 32% of WNBA All-Stars are publicly out. It is important to note that not all LGBTQ players choose to publicly disclose their sexual orientation, so the actual percentage of LGBTQ players in the WNBA may be higher than reported.
