Since coming into the league, Kelsey Plum has been one of the most popular players among WNBA fans, not just because of her skills but also her look.
Between her scoring ability and her public profile, she’s always found herself at the center of online conversations — some more unserious than others.
This week, one of those discussions took a strange turn on X.
A post from @nikas2points sparked chatter after it read, “I feel like Kelsey Plum was meant to be gay. Devastating loss to the lesbian community that this mistake hasn’t been corrected yet.”
That single tweet opened the floodgates, with WNBA fans debating — jokingly and otherwise — whether Plum “fit” better in a different lane altogether.
@_jaynoesta leaned all the way into humor, posting, “it’s like they made a gay person a forgot to flip the switch before they sent her out of the factory.”

Others suggested the door might still be open. @emmywemmy_02 wrote, “didn’t she recently get a divorce? there is still time.”
Not everyone was entertained by the discussion. @OnlineSurfer777 pushed back, saying, “No. She needs to stay in heterosexual super straight team.”
Plum has been open about her personal life, including her brief marriage to NFL tight end Darren Waller. The two filed for divorce on April 23, 2024, less than a year after getting married, adding fuel to speculation that fans probably should’ve left alone.
“People forget she was a 1st draft pick.”: Plum lets her game talk Off-court noise aside, Plum reminded everyone why she’s been a star for years.
Playing for Phantom BC in the Unrivaled 3×3 league, Plum delivered a monster performance in a 94–60 win over the Lunar Owls. Her 38-point outburst tied Napheesa Collier for the most points ever scored in a single Unrivaled game and pushed Phantom BC to a 1–1 record.
@Matshi_M gave her flowers, saying, “People forget she was a 1st draft pick. Plum dawg got mad skills.”

@vaatto summed it up simply: “That’s a superstar stat line right there.”
And @BRo_Amore pointed out how well the format fits her, adding, “This format and pace is built for her skill set I predict she will lead the league in scoring if she stays consistent.”
Plum finished the night with 38 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds on 16-for-22 shooting — a performance loud enough to drown out whatever the internet was arguing about earlier.
Imagine how fast abortion would be outlawed if a “gay” gene was found.
What is this WNBA you speak of? Is that the little hobby horse of grotesque black women who hate white women? Something like that.
Always with the eyebrows.... I have a thing for Latinas (semites too...Gal Gadot....slobber...) But the Latinas put on such clownish make up especially their eyebrows. What’s with that? She would be so pretty without those painted on eyebrows....
Maybe it’s just me.
I am old enough to remember when no one flaunted their sexuality. Straight, gay, or whatever. Those were the days.

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great!
Damn...that’s a HOT car. Is that a ‘65 GOAT?

Sophie Cunningham? Lexi Hull? They clean up really well.
It’s none of their business.
