Being straight is easier , but when you know you’re different and living a lie for a long time, it takes a toll on your soul. It’s hard going through life never really knowing or accepting who you are . No one chooses a hard path especially when it’s simpler to be like everyone else. Accepting my journey in life as a gay man has been difficult, but it’s better than living a lie . I met a wonderful man with children who also came out late in life like Jeff did and had we not accepted who we were, we would have never known true love as our authentic selves. Bravo Jeff.
It takes a lot of courage and strength to do what Jeff did. Nothing but respect to him. It's more important than ever for people to be comfortable with who they are.
Awesome story!❤️-I tell my teams every season these three things: I don’t care who you vote for, I don’t care who you pray to and I don’t care who you fall in love with! Can you commit to helping this team get better every day? That’s all that really ever mattered!
Found a May 2019 People magazine with the article and hoped to find more which lead here. My heart breaks for every person who feels the need to repress their true self out of fear. Those who choose to be bothered by non heterosexual people truly need help for their unaccepting hateful hearts. Congratulations to you Jeff for facing the future as the man you were born to be. Belated congratulations on your marriage Jeff and Joshua, may your loving union be a beacon of hope to guide others to their happily ever after. Heather Dondillon and Isabella I applaud your loving acceptance that allowed your family to grow rather than wither away from bitter hearts. Sending Auntie Sara spiritual loving hugs to one and all 🤗💞🤗
I broke a different glass ceiling 50 years ago. Sadly my soul is forever shredded by standing for what is right. The bright outcome is it paved a smooth road of acceptance for so very many people across five generations. It's a joy to know there are others who dared to be a first for whom it turned out well blessed and content.
I'd be interested in seeing if all the critic's in the comment section would have the guts to risk losing everything to be their authentic selves? This means risking the possibility of losing everyone you love and everything you have worked towards simply because of who you truly are is not the same as everyone else.
Who cares if you are straight or gay. He is happy. All of those people who look down on those who are gay should put themselves in their shoes and think how hard it is to be yourself. We should not judge people by their marriage or religion but by their character. God bless Jeff Rohrer and Josh Rohrer.
I am close to the age of Jeff. I am so proud that he could be tru to himself. And to his teammates for being so excepted. Football was never my thing. I am a rugby boy. But if i knew of Jeff back then I would have routed for him ever time. síocháin a bheith leat
Being gay is not a monolithic behavior. Josh is too obvious, effeminate and aggressive. Like Jack from Will and Grace…he should not have forced Jeff to move too fast.
What I learned about gays is that they are no different from straight people. Having said that, I hope your husband isn’t shady and truly loves you or vice versa. Best wishes to you both! Btw, wasn’t Esera Tuaolo married?
I am all for respecting anyone you fall in love with no problem! But couldn't this football player have found somebody closer to his age the sky looks like his son and sorry to say the football player could have got somebody a little more attractive but he'll maybe that's what not what he's looking for
Never heard of the guy before and don't care about his lifestyle choices...but I have to wonder about a guy who makes it a point to be interviewed in front of a wall filled with his own paintings of charter members of the Communism Hall-of-Fame.
Such a shame you are illiterate and incapable of properly reading the young man's name so I'll help. Say the name DON. Now say DILLON. Yay, you're almost done. Now say Dondillon.....SO very proud of you dear and when school reopens you can tell the whole 1st grade what you learned!
Much respect for this man. I grew up watching him play football and I’m happy he’s living his real life now.

What makes this so amazing is the fact that his ex and his kids live on the same premises. That is what I call a fun and healthy marriage. Wonderful!
What his son said to him was true. Thank you for sharing his story.
Never heard of this guy or his story before. Was gonna give it a watch. Then jaw dropped at 2:55
Me too
Same here 🤯
Awesome

Kudos to that
That is an awesome saying/speech. You must have an extraordinary team that supports each other. Many wins to you and your team.

By choosing to embrace people, rather than judge, you create an environment that sets everyone up to succeed. Bravo, coach!👏👏👏
Definitely a very different story, however, much props to NFL films on being so progressive. It’s refreshing.

What did you do?
It’s 2022 and I’m surprised they don’t have a reality show yet.
Was a great defensive player. Always found the way to take down a tight end.
Glaad he straightened his life out.

His son was right, it took a lot of courage to accept himself for who he is. That family looks strong.
Being is a awful thing

I did not know this story and I basically do not really care about it, but i gotta say the comments of his teammates put a smile on my face
Holy mother of plotwists
That's a strong man, father and person!!!

Nobody's going to mention that the husband kinda looks like the son 🤷🏻♂️
ikr xD wonder what the age gap is.
Jeff, such a great story. Love it, brother.
Nah that's not a modern family... this is super weird rich people stuff, even if he was straight. His ex wife living in the back😂😂😂
@MrBlueD3V1L right

Did anybody else here the wheeze at 2:55 or am I tripping?
Respect respect
Is it weird that in 7:27 I laughed?
I did the same
That poor girl, daughter of his, she's not happy with this weird aragment, you can see that in her eyes.
What I learned about gays is that they are no different from straight people. Having said that, I hope your husband isn’t shady and truly loves you or vice versa. Best wishes to you both!
Btw, wasn’t Esera Tuaolo married?
Him and his wife were a good couple! It's so sad. 😭😭😭
Josh look like a teen

Gil Brandt knew.
There will be a lot of extreme comments in here, for good and bad.
Had to be a Cowgirl
Lol
feel bad for the kids
Mom looks unhappy
@@kimjongun269 I think the daughter is unhappy!
Lol so the mom has her own room
Everyone:
NFL: *WE LOVE GAY PEOPLE*
In all seriousness, good for him for finally being true to himself
bisexual !?
Never heard of the guy before and don't care about his lifestyle choices...but I have to wonder about a guy who makes it a point to be interviewed in front of a wall filled with his own paintings of charter members of the Communism Hall-of-Fame.
Jeff is a very handsome man 💞
Interesting
Well u would expect a Cowboys player to be gay
This is awful
LOVE WINS 💝 💜💛 💚💙 💗 GO COWBOYS!!!
🤮🤮
If anything its selfish for him to have a family and ruin his family
Should have known he was gay when he named his son Dandelion! Really?!
Such a shame you are illiterate and incapable of properly reading the young man's name so I'll help. Say the name DON. Now say DILLON. Yay, you're almost done. Now say Dondillon.....SO very proud of you dear and when school reopens you can tell the whole 1st grade what you learned!
