Sam Kerr, a forward for Chelsea, has led Australia’s Matildas as their captain since 2019.

The 29-year-old Kerr is dating Kirstie Mewis, a player for the US national team who also plays for the US team Gotham FC.

Kerr is a well-known LGBTQ+ player for the Matildas and a beloved celebrity in Australia. “I think just being out and being two girls in love, I think if we can change one or two people’s lives and the way that they feel about each other and how comfortable they feel, then that means a lot to me,” Mewis said to Gaffer earlier this year when talking about their status as a visible same-sex couple in sports.

My passion is posting about my relationship on social media. Therefore, I believe that if we can help even a few individuals improve their self-perception, they will be able to see that we are a happy, successful couple who comes out as gay. That, in my opinion, is really significant.

Kyah Simon, a Matildas striker for Tottenham Hotspur, made FIFA Women’s World Cup history in 2011 by being the first Indigenous Australian football player to score a goal.

The 32-year-old Simon is currently seeing football player and Reading FC defender Faye Bryson. In the past, Simon has talked about how the Matildas supported her after she came out.

Kyah said to Elle Australia earlier this year, “I did have like-minded teammates who had similar or the same experiences as I did, whether it was parents who were, you know, welcoming with that news or that experience, or whether it was the opposite.”

Even if things in my own family didn’t turn out the way I had hoped, I believe that I was able to find some solace in the fact that others were likely experiencing similar things.

She announcement her engagement to her partner Kat Thompson in June 2023 just weeks before the World Cup, sharing a series of loved-up snaps of the couple on Instagram along with the caption: “Forever yes”.

During the World Cup in August 2023, Crummer made her marriage to Jodie public, revealing that they had “eloped” the month before.

“We always planned to do this, and what could be better than a playful surprise for everyone?,” the 27-year-old wrote in her post. “I love you, jods; forever won’t be long enough.”

“I spent years trying to live this lie,” she said in one of the episodes. “There were many difficult moments. Honestly, I’m not sure what other hobby I would have had if I hadn’t played football.

In an interview with ABC earlier this year, Logarzo discussed her platform as a lesbian sports star and stated, “What I want to do is normalize being gay.” Since it is; it is typical. I don’t consider dating a woman to be any different than dating a male. To me, love is love.

“Your appearance or behavior shouldn’t be the focus of this. I wish to dispel the myths surrounding that. Do you have to have a specific appearance? Do you have to fly the rainbow flag and have a shaved head? Is that all that’s required to be a member of the community? No. It’s not what it’s about, and I don’t want people to put us in boxes.
