3SYO #90: Coming Out in the Minors with Kieran Lovegrove

Last week, in an ESPN article advocating for better living conditions for minor leaguers, Giants farmhand Kieran Lovegrove came out publicly as bisexual and revealed that he had been out to teammates since 2019. Needless to say, this was a huge thrill to discover.
Today, Kieran joins me for a a fascinating, intellectual, and inspiring discussion about his coming out experience while riding the buses in Minor League Baseball. After hearing about how many of Lovegrove's teammates responded positively and encouraged his journey toward embracing his true self, I have never felt better about the direction in which baseball is headed.
But in order for the sport to fully realize its potential, it's also going to have to start paying its minor leaguers a living wage and providing more humane living and training conditions for its next generation. We also delve into Kieran's work with The Fair Ball Campaign and Advocates for Minor Leaguers to achieve these goals. You can visit that important organization here.
