HUGE props to Jason Collins the Washington Wizards Center, who showed the enormity of his bravery and courage by proclaiming to the world that he no longer chooses anxiety over aptitude, and chose to be completely honest about his sexual orientation.
April 29, 2013, Collins unlocked the closet door that contained his deep-rooted secret of homosexuality, while waiting patiently for the world to react.
The world reacted better than he had hoped and illuminated the positive progression of LGBTQ rights, not only in America but all around the world!
This is a new day and people are becoming more tolerant of those that differ from them, and refuse to allow the fear of the unknown to mimic their lives.
Although Jason Collins isn't the first black gay athlete to be out and proud, he is the first in our generation and that alone carries tremendous weight with a great deal of heroism.
Some question whether Collins' NBA days are numbered due to his recent confession, but the man's talent and humility obviously speaks for itself.
