Brittney Griner, the No. 1 pick in Monday's WNBA draft, acknowledged Wednesday in interviews that she is gay.

Griner, a 6-foot-8, three-time All-America center during an illustrious career at Baylor, said she has previously talked about her sexuality, but this appears to be the first time she's discussed the matter publicly.

In a group interview with SI.com that included Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins, the Nos. 2 and 3 picks in Monday's WNBA draft, the players were asked, in women's sports as opposed to men's, why athletes coming out is accepted.

"I really couldn't give an answer on why that's so different," Griner told SI.com. "Being one that's out, it's just being who you are. Again, like I said, just be who you are."

Griner said it doesn't matter what others might think of her or other gay athletes.

"Don't worry about what other people are going to say, because they're always going to say something, but, if you're just true to yourself, let that shine through. Don't hide who you really are," she said.

Griner also was asked by SI.com about the difficulty in coming out considering her stature as a prominent athlete.

"It really wasn't too difficult," she said. "I wouldn't say I was hiding or anything like that. I've always been open about who I am and my sexuality. So, it wasn't hard at all. If I can show that I'm out and I'm fine and everything's OK, then hopefully the younger generation will definitely feel the same way."

I never realized that I share so much in common with Brittney. I feel that She and I could be the same person we are so much alike.

3% of the population is gay, and about 97% of the population knew that she was already, haha.

Im so glad all these homos think they need to share that they are gay with the public.
Why is it any of our business and why do we care?

I might be alright with all of this gay loving if they didnt constantly tell us about it and think they have to describe what there "feeling".

My brother has always called her a man.

Brittney has given us all great advice: "Just Be Who You Are"
