Billie Jean King has been a trailblazing icon for decades both on and off the tennis court. Thank you for being a champion for the LGBTQ+ community and women’s movement every day, @billiejeanking!

Thank you. I am deeply humbled and honored.
🚨 History made! 🚨 The House just passed my bipartisan, bicameral bill to award my friend, @BillieJeanKing, legendary athlete, and ardent advocate, the Congressional Gold Medal, making her the first female athlete to ever receive this honor—yet another iconic trailblazing moment for this indomitable icon! 🏅🇺🇸
Congratulations, Billie Jean—your fight has shattered barriers once again!
Thank you to @RepSherrill, my colleagues in the House & Senate, and the @usta for your overwhelming support. Now, let’s get this bill signed into law and cement Billie Jean’s legacy as a champion of tennis and equality!

Nine years ago today, marriage equality became the law of the land.
For decades, HRC worked with countless LGBTQ+ leaders, activists, and advocates to fight for our fundamental right to love who we love.
This historic victory is proof: When we show up, equality wins.

#ad I’m honored to be a Wheaties champion on the newest limited edition @wheaties box.
Wheaties was a big part of my childhood. I started each day eating a bowl of it at our breakfast table in Long Beach, California. As I entered our kitchen, I would flex and say, "Wheaties, the Breakfast of Champions!"
I've been inspired by so many of the Wheaties champions over the years. It's a dream come true to now find myself in such good company.
Thanks to Wheaties for recognizing me.
Wonderful celebrating #WSF50 today with our phenomenal Founder @BillieJeanKing, Trustees and my @WomensSportsFdn teammates!
