Nadia Podoroska: Nadia Podoroska, a professional tennis player from Argentina, became the most recent woman to publicly come out as gay. She revealed to the world that she was dating Gulliermina Naya.
The Podoroska discovery was shared recently on fan pages and sports pages on social media after it appeared in a birthday message she posted on Instagram a few days earlier. As soon as the 25-year-old came out, her supporters gathered to her in support and well wishes for the future.
Billie Jean King, a tennis legend and an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, was among those who heard the news. She gave the Argentinian a letter of congratulations and praise for her bravery.

Nadia Podoroska continues Daria Kasatkina’s legacy of coming out as LGBT earlier this year.
A major triumph for women’s tennis and LGBTQ+ athletes in the game, Nadia Podoroska’s coming out builds on the foundation Daria Kasatkina laid earlier this year. In July, Kasatkina startled the tennis community and her fellow Russians by coming out as homosexual, shattering a variety of taboos still in place in the nation.
The Russian decided that she was done living in terror after hiding her actual self for so long and made the decision to cope with the consequences, no matter how negative they were.
Kasatkina has faced a lot of backlash and criticism from more conservative regions of Russia since then, but she has also received a lot of appreciation for her bravery and courage, particularly in a nation that has a negative view of gays and the LGBTQ+ population.T
