NBA Player Jason Collins comes out

Jason Collins from the NBA's Washington Wizards became the first active NBA player to come out as gay. Very proud of him and hope he gets support from the NBA and his team.

What a courageous step for an active athlete .. more power to him. Good to see other players tweeting their support too (Kobe, Steve Nash, Baron Davis so far).

There's a thread about this in PI already - I think it should be here, and hope that the admins will move it here and combine them.

I've asked Sylvia to merge the two threads and put the hybrid in whichever forum she likes.
