WNBA superstar Brittney Griner says it’s “AWESOME” that Lil Nas X has come out as gay — telling TMZ Sports, “I think it’s real big!”
28-year-old Griner is openly gay — she’s engaged to longtime girlfriend Cherelle Watson — and knows first hand how tough it can be to come out when you’re a big star under the microscope.
But, the 5-time WNBA All-Star says she’s especially impressed with the “Old Town Road” artist for not letting homophobes and negative gay stereotypes (especially in the hip-hop world) stop him from going public about his sexuality.
“I just think it’s awesome he did that,” Griner says … “takes a lot of bravery.”
Griner says it’s 2019 and people should be able to love who they want to love and be who they want to be without fear of a backlash … and she thinks Lil Nas X is helping to achieve that goal.
“I think it’s real big … kudos to him.”
Lil Nas X came out via a social media post on June 30 — the last day of Gay Pride month — and we’re told he was inspired to do so after such a positive experience performing at the Glastonbury Music Festival in England, which is known for its inclusivity.
