First and foremost I want to applaud Jason Collins for his courage. His coming out story will inspire and encourage not only current professional athletes, but future generations of gay youth who may have otherwise given up the idea of becoming a professional athlete due to their sexual orientation. This man had so much more to lose than just a few friends. He put his fears of losing his career, the torment of fellow players and the backlash from the fans aside so that he may be true to himself and to others about who this man is. As it is too soon to tell what the reaction from the fans may be, I am happy to see the support from so many fellow athletes and coaches. Kudos to you Jason Collins! Love to all.
