Jessica Andrade is a top prospect in the UFC women’s bantamweight division and just happens to be a lesbian, which has never been an issue for her:
I’ve always made it very clear that I’m a homosexual, the 23-year-old Brazilian told MMAjunkie. I like women. But that’s never affected me when fighting or in my personal life. I think that every interaction, in or out of fighting, is an opportunity to show that we are normal people. Our behavior isn’t defined by our sexuality. My way of communicating and caring for people, will always be the same. Being attracted to the same gender doesn’t really make us different.
Being a homosexual doesn’t mean that I expect people to see things my way. Everyone is entitled to their own way of understanding things. If people want to mistreat me, that’s fine. I choose to continue being the same affectionate person I’ve always been, though it does seem like the world is changing in regards to how people view homosexuals.
