By The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona women's basketball coach Becky Burke has responded to hateful comments after she announced her wife's pregnancy on social media. Burke's post Monday triggered an onslaught of negative comments, many by people offended by a same-sex couple announcing the pregnancy. “Yesterday, my wife and I shared the news that we are expecting a baby,” Burke posted Wednesday. “Unfortunately, the announcement also brought some of the most hateful comments we’ve ever seen. While we knew sharing our lives publicly would come with opinions, it’s been disappointing to see so much negativity directed at what is one of the happiest moments of our lives." Burke, entering her second season as Arizona's coach, posted a photo of her with her wife, Savannah, and son, announcing a daughter due in December. She responded with a statement under a post on X that said: “Our happiness isn't yours to approve.”
