So a few things from me.
Firstly, agree with the majority that there is no such thing as a "gay sport". Sports are just that, sports, and in a lot of cases are separated by gender because they need to be for legitimate reasons. I'd live to think if they didn't need to be then they wouldn't be.
Secondly, to the science. It is OK having a curiosity why there is over-representation of gay women in certain sports. Probably, the more interesting topic is the pure science....the biology. Wikipedia's definition is interesting...
The relationship between biology and sexual orientation is a subject of research. While scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, they theorise that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Hypotheses for the impact of the post-natal social environment on sexual orientation, however, are weak, especially for males.
Biological theories for explaining the causes of sexual orientation are favoured by scientists. These factors, which may be related to the development of a sexual orientation, include genes, the early uterine environment (such as prenatal hormones), and brain structure.
Now if you can get your head around that, you are perfectly entitled to look for the pattern in sport. That would be science project 2. I personally don't have that curiosity to educate myself deeper, because I just enjoy things as they are. I get that some do, but would hope it is not to justify why they don't want to watch it.
Lastly, to webpage coverage. You need to understand the concept of Land, Adopt, Expand to really get into that. Think of it as being in a supermarket and the least popular brand is at eye level but the most popular brand is next to your feet. How do you know if the least popular brand isn't really good and you can enjoy both from this point onwards in your life? How do you know if you never see it?
I don't know the stats, but I would guess that way more fans are visiting our website nowadays clicking through from the social media sites. It's the wrong way round to think that it is an inconvenience to the men-only fans having the women's stuff there. What is actually happening is that we are bringing a more inclusive and diverse range of people to the website. It will keep increasing. Now imagine if any one of those website visitors visit the Online Spurs Store and buy something. That is profit going straight to the bottom line and turning into transfer budgets and salaries. Bring it on.
