Jason Collins is Gay. Jason Who?

The first day of First Grade in elementary school is one that I remember vividly. Not because I was the new kid in school that spoke no English and I was wearing a hideous light blue kiddie leisure suit that my mom forced me to put on, but because I met an amazing individual who for many years after that was my official BFF. This person had a hard to pronounce Russian name, was wearing pants, a red polo shirt, and sported a perfectly shaved head (I suspect as a result of lice), so before being troubled by the thought of how the heck I was supposed to communicate with this group, or when was my mother going to buy me a uniform, I was challenged by the mystery of “Sasha”. Was this “Sasha” person a boy or a girl? I observed keenly; heedful of any signs that would give him or her away. This person doodled in her books like everybody else, ignored the teacher like everybody else, stuck gum under the desk like everybody else, and pulled on Pilar’s pony tail just like everybody else. There was no obvious tell. Frustrated at my lack of results, I just went ahead and asked. I got slapped. A boy would’ve punched me. Sasha was a girl and we became best friends.

My first reaction to the news that Jason Collins is gay was: Who’s Jason Collins? So of course, I asked Professor Google and immediately got the whole story. Even though I know this is probably “the moment” of his life, I want to believe most people will react to these 'moments' much like his Aunt Teri: &.

    With two words - 'I'm gay' - NBA player Jason Collins made sports history Monday, drawing widespread praise from fans, ex-teammates and two presidents.
    'Jason's announcement today is an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community,' said a statement from Bill Clinton, whose daughter Chelsea has been friends with Collins since their days at Stanford University.
    'It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities.'
    A White House official also said that President Barack Obama even called Collins to 'express his support' and said he was impressed by his courage.
    On her Facebook page, Chelsea Clinton said she was proud of her pal 'for having the strength and courage to become the first openly gay athlete in the NBA.'
    It's not just the NBA. Collins, 34, is the first openly gay male in any of the four leading professional team sports in America. He came out in the pages of Sports Illustrated in a first-person essay.
    'I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay,' he wrote.
    The journeyman free agent, who most recently played for the Washington Wizards, said that while he started thinking about revealing his sexual orientation in 2011, it was the Boston M

    Jason Collins: Former Timberwolf says, 'I'm Gay'

    Jason Collins, a 12-year NBA veteran who played for the Minnesota Timberwolves for one season, has come out as the first openly gay male athlete still active in a major American team sport.

    'I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black and I'm gay,' Collins writes in the May 6 edition of Sports Illustrated. The magazine published the article online Monday, April 29.

    The announcement makes Collins a pioneer of sorts: the first player in the NBA, the NFL, the NHL or Major League Baseball to come out while still pursuing his career.

    Other gay athletes, including the former NBA center John Amaechi, have waited until retirement to divulge their sexual orientation publicly.

    The announcement followed recent decisions by two other prominent athletes -- the U.S. soccer player Robbie Rogers and the women's basketball player Brittney Griner -- to acknowledge that they are gay.

    When Rogers, 25, revealed last month that he is gay, he also said he was retiring from soccer. (He has since indicated he may play again.) Griner, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, will soon embark on her professional career.

    Collins, who split this season between the Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards, will become a free agent on July 1. He intends to pursue another contract in the summer, which may serve as a test for how NBA teams respond to the announcement.
