Out of the closet after eight years of being in a relationship, Denmark's World No. 4 women's doubles pair of Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl are hoping that playing badminton wouldn't become tough for them in countries like India, where homosexuality is a taboo. Pedersen and Juhl chose to reveal their relationship in a book, which details their journey in the sport.

"Me and Kamilla love playing in India. We are still the same badminton players, we won't change anything, we won't change how to act, or behave when we visit other countries and I hope we are still respected and loved the way we have always been," said Pedersen. They are scheduled to play in the upcoming Premier Badminton League for different franchises.
