Is there not other things more important to your readers and the citizens of this country than this “stuff” ?
Come on you are promoting it by printing it.

Props to John Amaechi for coming out. It took courage on his part and he’s to be lauded.

I hope this leads to other high profile sports stars coming out as well. How great would it be to see an MLB player say “I’m gay.”

Ditto.  I couldn’t have said it better.

Imagine if John had come out while still playing basketball? Now that would have stirred things up in the league.

However, I find it hard to imagine others risking those extreme salaries by doing something like that. I also find it hard to imagine why wouldn’t you take risks for something you believe in so strongly?

Why not come out while you are still in the league? That way you have an opportunity to open doors for others like you. You have an opportunity to awaken the consciousness of everyone who have negative beliefs (Tim Hardaway) about who you are.

Saul Williams stated it perfectly in his song ‘Coded Language: We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic.
Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference.
Every per-son as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to
uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking World.
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed.
