Veteran Margaret Court says tennis ‘full of lesbians’

Australian tennis legend Margaret Court is again in the headlines, saying her sport is ‘full of lesbians’, which comes just days after her controversial boycott of Qantas airlines over CEO Alan Joyce’s involvement in the same-sex marriage debate.

Court, who is now a pastor, told radio show Vision Christian Radio: “Tennis is full of lesbians, because even when I was playing there was only a couple there, but those couple that led, that took young ones into parties and things.”

“And you know, what you get at the top is often what you’ll get right through that sport,” she said.

“We’re there to help them overcome. We’re not against the people.”

Court drew public criticism last week after writing an open letter saying that she would not fly with Qantas Airlines due to its support for same-sex marriage
