Amber Glenn becomes first LGBTQ+ woman to win U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championship

“Being the first openly queer women’s champion is incredible,” Glenn said. “When I came out originally, I was terrified and I was scared it would affect my scores or something, but I didn’t care. It was worth it to see, over the last couple of years, the amount of young people that feel more comfortable in their environments at the rink.”

    Well, you should have taken 16 seconds. Because two words later it says that she also identifies as pansexual. And in the article quoted, she refers to herself as queer. So BQ+

    Are you really arguing that “Amber Glenn becomes first Bisexual, Pansexual, and Queer woman to win U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championship” would have been a better headline?
