Brittney Griner Cancels Cannabis Conference Appearance After Discovering Note in Hotel Room

The WNBA star found a message reading 'Gay Baby Jail' in her Maryland hotel room, which police later linked to a video game reference.

Brittney Griner withdrew from the Women Grow Leadership Summit in Maryland after finding a note in her hotel room that she perceived as threatening.
The note, written on duct tape and reading 'Gay Baby Jail,' was reportedly left by a previous guest and linked to a video game reference, according to police.
Authorities stated there was no evidence the note was targeted at Griner, who is openly gay and has faced public harassment in the past.
The Women Grow organization supported Griner's decision, emphasizing the importance of safety for all attendees and promising to investigate the incident further.
Griner, who was detained in Russia for nearly a year on marijuana-related charges, had planned to speak about drug criminalization and her experiences at the event.
