It should in the appropriate way. I don't seriously think a teenage hoopster will look at her and think, "I should be a lesbian!" However, if a young woman is starting to realize she IS a lesbian, I think it will helpful that she can look at Swoopes as a role model. And if she's het, she can look at her ball skills and her decency and care for her SO.
Homosexuality will always be a minority orientation and therefore something different. It's about time there were role models, like we've had for other minority groups.
