First Openly Gay Athlete in Major American Team Sports
Quote:
With three short, simple sentences, free agent center Jason Collins became the first openly gay athlete to play a major American team sport.
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay," Collins wrote for a story in the May 6 issue of Sports Illustrated.
There's been much discussion in recent months about when the first active gay athlete would come out. The NHL partnered with "You Can Play," and filmed a commercial encouraging gay athletes. The NFL has produced a mixed response, with some players firmly in support of a player coming out, while others have been wary of an openly gay teammate in the locker room.
