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.

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.”
