Jason Collins, congratulations!! I think you'll be the first of a landslide of similar comings out.

Jason Collins is a veteran NBA player. He has now come out.

I expect we'll eventually see approximately the same percentage of pros to eventually come out as the percentage of gays people among us.

Personally, I am hoping for a landslide.

Thank you, Jason. You have made the country and the world a little better today for ALL of us with your brave decision.

Gandalf, Dumbledore, and Jason Collins. Proud that it's a Washington sports figure that's leading the way!

I wonder if she inspired Jason Collins to come out.
