WNBA star Brittney Griner canceled a speaking engagement at the Women Grow 2025 Leadership Summit after finding a piece of tape with the words “Gay Baby Jail” in her hotel room. Griner, who is gay, had recently been imprisoned in Russia on drug charges but was released in a prisoner swap. The phrase on the tape is commonly used as a video game reference and was found in a room during a convention at the Gaylord National Resort that attracts video game enthusiasts. The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating the incident and is asking for information from the public. Women Grow CEO Chanda Macias stated that Griner felt unsafe due to the threatening objects and words found in her room and chose to return home. The hotel assured that the conference attendees were safe and explained that the offensive message was likely a meme joke left by a previous guest. Regardless of the motive behind the message, the Women Grow community supports Griner’s decision to prioritize her safety.
