In regards to a female athlete coming out, I think there is a common assumption that all women athletes are lesbians, so when one actually does come out, it's regarded as a "no sh¡t" event. That assumption is incorrect, of course, but is exists nonetheless.

That's definitely how it should be, but we're so very far away from that right now. I don't know how long it will take, but I am certain the more guys (and yes, unfortunately I specifically mean dudes) who come out, the sooner that will happen.
The fundies will continue to get their knickers in a twist, like they always have, but the rest of the word will move on without them.
