In a recent interview that’s sparked widespread conversation, golf star Nelly Korda didn’t hold back when asked about lesbianism and LGBTQ+ visibility in women’s sports. Her response was direct, unapologetic, and surprisingly personal — and it’s now making waves around the globe.
“Let’s stop pretending it doesn’t exist,” Korda said. “There are lesbian athletes in every sport, and they deserve the same respect and privacy as anyone else. We need to normalize that.”
Her comments came during a broader discussion on representation, respect, and the hidden pressures many female athletes face when it comes to identity and public perception.
While she made it clear that she was not speaking about herself, fans applauded her for using her platform to shine light on a subject that’s often avoided or misunderstood in professional sports.
Online reactions have been mixed — with many praising her courage, while others debate the timing and tone. One fan wrote:
“She said what most are too afraid to say — that’s leadership.”
Whether people agree or not, one thing is clear: Nelly Korda just opened a conversation that won’t be going away anytime soon.
