To some in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities (LGBTQ), three-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time MVP of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Sheryl Swoopes, is a "lie-sexual," another sister-girl on the "down low" with the news that she's now engaged to a man. And to many of my heterosexual African American brothers, Chris Unclesho, the man Swoopes is engaged to marry, is the MAN! a bona fide "dyke whisperer" who has turned Swoopes out to the sexual joys of what it is to be with a man.

Women's basketball MVP and Olympian Sheryl Swoopes is returning to the game this year with the Tulsa Shock after sitting out for two seasons. Swoopes, who just turned 40, previously played for the Houston Comets, where she won four WNBA championships and was named league MVP in 2000, 2002, and 2005. In 2008 she signed with the Seattle Storm, where she played in 29 games before taking a break from the league to play overseas.
