Okay, so I saw this question popping up everywhere online – “is Dawn Staley gay?” – and I got curious. I mean, I’m a huge fan of women’s basketball, and she’s a legend, so I wanted to dig in. Not in a creepy, invasive way, but just… you know… see what the story was. This is my little adventure down the rabbit hole.

My Little Investigation
First, I just hit up the usual spots. I typed the question into Google. Just straight up: “is Dawn Staley gay?” I figured that would be the quickest way to get a feel for what people were saying.
The results were… well, a mixed bag. I mean the search suggestion shows “dawn staley wife”, “dawn staley partner”, so I thought I could start from these keywords.
Then, I checked some of the more reliable-looking news sites and sports blogs. I mean, I skipped over the gossip rags and anything that seemed overly dramatic. I wanted facts, not speculation.
After that, I thought, “Okay, maybe there’s something on social media.” So I looked Dawn Staley up. But honestly, I didn’t find much, which, you know, is totally her right. People are allowed to keep their private lives private!
What I’ve Gathered
After spending a good chunk of time on this, here’s what I came away with. There’s no big, definitive “yes” or “no” splashed across the internet. And honestly? That’s okay. Her personal life is her personal life.
I still admire her,I will continue to focus on her achievements on the court!
