hen you think about professional sports, you probably don’t think of it as a welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community. And that’s because it hasn’t been. 

But regardless of current underrepresentation, the queer community has always been a part of the sports world. Fast forward to modern day, one man is making sure the queer community has a spot on the field. 

Today on PRIDE, we’re sitting down with the first openly bi-sexual pro-football player, Defensive End for the Dallas Cowboys R. K. Russell. He’ll tell us about what it means to be queer in a space traditionally dominated by hetero-normativity, why we need to be uplifting our queer athletes, and how the simple act of journaling can radically uplift your mental health.
