Jason Collins, NBA Player, Comes Out The Closet

Jason Collins announced to the world that he is gay.  I personally do not feel it is a big deal. It is the year 2013, and although there are still some backward people, I would say civilization is very elevated and modern, a majority.  A lot of people around the world from all walks of life are gay and I think that is okay.  I think what is important is the content of a person’s character and many people say Jason is a good human being, and that is what counts.  This is coming from a straight heterosexual male like me.  I am willing to bet there are more gay players but they are scared to admit it.  I think the gay issue has been beating a dead horse and it has been covered beyond recognition.
