Earlier this offseason, the San Francisco 49ers made Katie Sowers the second female full-time coach in NFL history. Kathryn Smith, who spent the 2016 season as a special teams quality control coach for the Buffalo Bills, was the first.
On Tuesday, Sowers herself made history, when she opened up to OutSports and become the first openly LGBT coach in the NFL, male or female.
"No matter what you do in life, one of the most important things is to be true to who you are," Sowers said. "There are so many people who identify as LGBT in the NFL, as in any business, that do not feel comfortable being public about their sexual orientation. The more we can create an environment that welcomes all types of people, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, the more we can help ease the pain and burden that many carry every day."

Too bad. Obviously, their prior coaches didn’t d them much good...........don’t know........I don’t watch the NFL any more.
She handing out towels?
Yes, she’s LGBLT. All of them.
She’s a real renaissance man.
sounds about right.
She’ll rename the team the 69ers.
The letter designations will continue to expand. I, like you, can’t keep up.
These people are nothing but attention seekers!
I’m tired of it. I want them out of the Military.
