Her sexuality is the last thing I would call straight when talking about her, but Poland is very homophobic country. The darling and treasure of entire nation can't be not "normal". That's why she's faking all these feminine photoshoots.
This sounds like Poland is a Middle East country lol. It’s not. If she wants to come out, she can, she can even get a girlfriend and that wouldn’t shock many people in Poland anymore. Sure, there will be some homophones along the way but people generally don’t care that much anymore.
The thing is this will be put on the front pages everywhere and I bet that she won’t come out for some time because of that. It’s clear she doesn’t need any hot news in any way. She’s always so focused and determined to win. There won’t be much about her private life in public, perhaps in couple of years. But not now.
And if she marries or dates a man, then it’s branding and good optics, nothing more. She’s a lesbian, when you see her live it’s even clearer. Nothing straight about her.
exactly. i mean, there are pride parades in poland. poland is as homophobic on average as any other country, it's no paradise, but it's better than the middle east or latin america. i think this is more personal. she doesn't want the fuss of coming out. or maybe she doesn't want to 'come out' at all and will just have a girlfriend someday without any fanfare, and right now, dating is not her focus so the topic doesn't come up. she's private so i think that makes sense. for now, the focus of her life is her tennis and that's that.
Poland is as homophobic as most of eastern europe and the balkans(yes, polish people always need to say they are central europe but they are basically both) and the years of ultra conservative leadership and policies + the influence of the church didn't help.
Are we even sure she is not homophobic or at least with internalized homophobia? She may even think she's not homophobic but still perceive same sex love and relationships as inferior or something. How about her family, they could also be homophobic. In any case, she will likely end up with a man or keep her same sex relationships super hidden cause it would expose her to a lot of mockery and humiliating commentary from all the homophobes in Poland and not only.
Btw, I won't say she is lesbian just cause she has a masculine perceived demeanor and we should stop attributing certain demeanors and clothing preference to this or that gender only. She could very well be straight, bisexual, lesbian, whichever, but I just always got the vibe from her like there might be that extra bit of pressure and drive of someone repressing or hiding something. Out of all the (not out, hetero declared) players, she's the only one I get a possibly gay vibe from.
Sabalenka should've been a lesbian, her taste in men is painfully east european made
