NBA Center Jason Collins: "I'm Black. And I'm Gay"
From
Sports Illustrated:
I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay.
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. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand.
My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons.

ReplyDeleteUmm, if you were in my classroom you would have had your a$$ beat and not in a way you'd like, fairy boy.
People like you, we'd leave you butt-up with a flower in it
