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."

first LGBTQ+ woman

First bi woman.

That took me 15 seconds on Wikipedia.

This kind of journalism makes it out to be that LGBTQ+ persons are a monolith, and as if there aren't literally many different types of people in that group.

Just say Bi. Or don't consider it at all because sexuality has nothing to do with sports performance.

Though, I do understand that she is rightfully proud of her LGBTQ+ inclusion and can help inspire others.

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?
