Two days after winning a spot on the women’s U.S. Olympic wrestling team, Stephany Lee (pictured right) married her partner Brigg McDonald in a small ceremony in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Monday.
Lee, 27, beat Iris Smith, who wrestles for the U.S. Army, and 2008 Olympian Ali Bernard on Saturday earning her a spot on the team. According to the New York Times, she told reporters after the match that she did not want to be a spokeswoman for all lesbian athletes, but she added that she is comfortable with herself, and many other athletes may not be out to the public out of fear of backlash.
