Jason Collins Breaks Barriers


 
NBA veteran Jason Collins reveals in a Sports Illustrated article that he is gay and has become the first openly gay professional athlete. In the article featured on sportsillustrated.com, he discusses his journey of self-discovery throughout his life and 12 seasons in the NBA. He also talks about how revealing his secret releases the burden he held for all these years, frighten by what others would think.
I would like to commend Jason Collins on his strength and courage. I urge all of my readers to check out the article online, or in the May 6th issue of Sports Illustrated.
