The Seattle Seahawks teamed up with fellow sports teams in the city to drive support for local LGBTQ+-owned small businesses and gender-inclusive youth sports. The panel will discuss the normalization of LGBTQ+ athletes and their personal experiences as out and allied persons in sports, the team said. On June 22, the team will hold the 2021 49ers PRIDE LGBTQ+ Activism in Sports Panel featuring professional athletes and sports personalities like Kimberly Chexnayder, Fallon Fox and Kurtis Gabriel.
The San Francisco 49ers announced month-long plans to celebrate Pride Month throughout June, including a genderless clothing line in which 100% of the proceeds will benefit local LGBTQ+ organizations.
