    As a gay man and a gay journalist I strongly approve of this message.

    Good for him. We just got a step closer to the day when a persons sexual preferences will not be newsworthy.

    Announcing to the world that you're a fucking queer and we call that a "human triumph"?? That's a horrible commentary on what the world has devolved into.

    I don't understand the fuss. I'm sure there are many gay pro athletes. It's not a human triumph at all. A guy who is a pro basketball player with no arms, that is a human triumph. Nascar driver with an iron lung, human triumph.

    This should be interesting. After all, black people are known to hate gay people. Just look at California.

    Human triumph? Hell no.
    Marketing triumph by the agent who decided the only way to get a new contract, for a second string, unremarkable, mid 30's, utility player, was to drop the gay card. Now if he doesn't get a contract the NBA can add 'Homophobic" to the list of bad PR. So lets slow down with the "Gay Jackie Robinson" bullshit. Half the players on his team probably don't know who he is. Kobe Bryant didn't come out. Magic didn't come out, though he should. It's a nobody. Want to be treated the same as everyone else? Content of character instead of your sexual orientation? Then act like everyone else and keep your sex life to yourself, and do your fucking job, live your life, and eat a dick if the spirit moves you. Just don't shout it from the mountain top.

    Great points. Hard to shout from a mountaintop with a dick in your mouth.

    9:05, he wasn't making a big deal out of the being gay part. The news, and the "Human Triumph" sports columnists are.
