My sister first clued me in to the Sports Illustrated article by Jason Collins. Collins came out in the article making him the first openly gay active player in any of four major professional male sports leagues in the United States. She did so with the link: #StanfordProud. Most appropriate.
I hope that Collins is pleasantly surprised by the reaction of fans and players alike. We shall see. I wish him the best and thank him for his courage.
And to his fellow gay professional athletes I say, "Don't make him stand alone."
