New 4. 9ers Hire Katie Sowers Comes Out As The NFL's First Openly Gay Coach. New San Francisco 4. Katie Sowers came out as a lesbian in an Outsportspiece yesterday, making her the first ever openly gay coach not just in NFL history, but in the history of major male American pro sports. From the article: “No matter what you do in life, one of the most important things is to be true to who you are,” Sowers, openly lesbian, told Outsports when asked why she is discussing her sexual orientation publicly for the first time.
