I'm sure pretty much everyone knows this already, but you're a fucking moron. Yeah, gay people select to be ridiculed by bigots like you. They choose to not own equal rights in a country that claims to be the land of the free.

What rights do they not have? They can have a lawyer and other authorities to receive someone to be qualified to consent on experience or death situations and inherit your money.

I seriously doubt you do this retarded homophobic act in real existence, unless you live in a backward part of the country.

I grew up where the Ricin Guy was arrested at. There is a bunch of backwoods around there, gravel roads and dead end roads.

Jason Collins

Jason Collins played college basketball as a center for Stanford University where he was an NCAA All-American for the 2000–01 season. He was selected by the Houston Rockets as the 18th overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft. Collins spent his career with various NBA teams including the Modern Jersey Nets, Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards, and Brooklyn Nets. After the 2012–2013 season concluded, Collins came out publicly as a lgbtq+ man in a feature article for Sports Illustrated magazine. He became a free agent and did not engage again until February 2014, when he signed with the Nets and became the first openly gay athlete to play in any of the four major North American pro sports leagues. Considered a “game-changer” for his admission, he was named one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” in 2014.

That was the last nail in the coffin of, I’m doing this, I’m adding my voice to all the other athletes who are speaking up on behalf of the Homosexual community. But there were those family members that I had who said, Jason, do you need to come out publicly? Can you just live your life but know that we know we love you, but you don’t necessarily need to talk about it? And I said to them, that’s not who you raised me to be.

Former NBA Player Jason Collins' Path To An Authentic Life

Jason Collins knew the exact moment when everything in his life was going to change. It was 11:30 EST/8:30 PST on Monday morning, April 29, 2013.

A Media Storm

"I got to my agent’s house around 6:30, and it was sort of, like, that was like the war room," Collins says.

Collins had spent the weekend calling friends and letting them know what was about to occur. One of those calls was to his Stanford classmate, Chelsea Clinton. She put him on the phone with her dad.

"We knew that we were going to come in into a media storm, and he has a tiny bit of life dealing with that," Collins says. "Some advice that he gave me was, 'In that moment when it feels overwhelming, close your eyes, take a deep breath ... and then just keep moving forward.'"

Collins says he wasn’t nervous. But they kept the TV on, so they’d know when the story broke. Soon, it was the uppermost story on SportsCenter.

"Alright now, recently some news. Jason Collins, veteran in the NBA, announced that he is gay, making him the first active male basketball player, or just male player in the four pro sports, to proclaim that he is gay."
