By Paige BowmanMarch 4, 2023 Growing up in rural central Pennsylvania, being gay meant being invisible. It’s safe to say I didn’t see much representation growing up there, but when I came to college and joined the women’s soccer team, I instantly found a community. For the first time in my life, I saw people like me and had teammates who accepted me for who I was. It is not an anomaly for women in the LGBTQ community to find a safe space in college athletics.
