b"In honor of Pride Month, we're taking every Saturday to re-release a favorite past episode featuring an incredible LGBTQ woman. Each episode will be introduced by an LGBTQ advocate or podcaster we love. Today, Brittany Ashley is introducing Billie Jean King (1943-present). Billie's whirlwind tennis career captivated a nation, and her advocacy changed society for the better. She won 39 major tennis titles, fought and made progress for pay equity in her sport, and earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
