mapping sexual orientation

In your initial post, consider the following questions:

1. What are the stereotypes of sexual orientation that get mapped differently onto different gendered bodies (so, for example, the athletic female is interpreted as masculine and therefore lesbian, while the athletic male is perceived as hypermasculine and thus straight)?
2. Did the coming out of Brittney Griner, Jason Collins and Michael Sam in 2013 open doors for non-heterosexual and transgender collegiate and professional athletes to express their sexuality and gender openly?
