Jason Collins has become the first openly gay NBA player, and the first man in major American team sports to come out of the closet during his active career.
The 12-year veteran writes in Sports Illustrated, “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.”
Collins continues, “I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation.”
