22 LGBTQ+ Athletes Who Are Speaking Out and Leading the Way — in Sports and Beyond

Ashlyn Harris is a goalie for the Orlando Pride in the NWSL and on the USWNT, with whom she's won two World Cups. Along with her spouse, Ali Krieger, Harris is an outspoken advocate for equality across the gender and sexuality spectrum.

Growing up, Harris explained to POPSUGAR in a previous interview, "I didn't see people of my community, and it made me feel like I had to hide, and it made me feel that I couldn't live my truth. I think, for us, that is something that Ali and I strive to do just to create the visibility aspect in our sport and in our life and show that we get happy endings, too."
