Thread: Violet Palmer marrying partner

Violet Palmer made her biggest call yet: The NBA referee will marry her partner of 20 years on Friday.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Palmer says she came out to her fellow NBA referees in 2007. She has not tried to keep her sexuality a secret from the league since that time.

"This is actually the big formal coming out," Palmer said. "We are saying to the world, to everyone, here's my wife of 20 years. This is the big coming out."

Uhhhh.

good for you Violet!!

Good read. Great find

I am shocked that a woman involved with the sport of basketball would turn out to be a lesbian. What a crazy world we live in. Next thing you'll tell me is that she's black.
