It's a privilege to be treated the same as everyone else? 

The team has had numerous openly gay women on the team this year and in past years. Women's soccer in general has had numerous openly gay players and coaches. They're partnering with a campaign that is aimed at being inclusive to all of those who want to play a sport because many of them have faced that discrimination.
