Why are people congratulating Jason Collins being gay???? This dude had a fiancé and he was under cover with her 7 years? He's no hero. He's just another brother that cheated. But he was with man, while dating a woman. #NoRespect
You can't judge someone's life, whether in the past, or presence. You don't know if he had feelings for that woman at the time, or if it felt right for him. Things aren't entirely black or white when attracting to a gender.
If people think he's wrong, your kind of ignorance is what fucks this country over. It makes me sick how u stereotype just because he's gay doesnt mean shit. I garuntee that he could still beat 95% of u in ball anyday of the week, just because hes gay DOES NOT MEAN SHIT
Except that I've just explained to you that gay people can't "choose their destination". Gay people are as naturally gay as you are straight. Fact is fact, no matter how much you wish it were different.
This is beautiful. By coming out, he made it far more comfortable for people all over the world to come out in their respective lives. And coming out isn't necessarily about sexuality. It's about finding the courage to express who you really are to the world. Good for him.
He is a hero because it takes a lot of guts to put ones career in front of this heterosexual society . He is a hero to all the gay kids out there telling them he is gay an no different than any other heterosexual sports players . We need people like him to come out and break the gay stereotype which the heterosexual society create about gay people ..
Love is Love. The people against only focus on sex. So you're a heterosexual person, congrats. Do you an your mate only have sex? What about the support, the caring, the understanding of who you are. The touch, feeling a human embrace. You need to stop trying to take your religion so seriously and focus on love, it's what Jesus would have wanted you to do anyways. You will likely be on the wrong side of history, and that's fine and you're more than allowed to have your opinion, but for goodness sake try to have a heart.
If you don't stand for something (what is right), you will fall for anything. Anytime you mention what would Jesus do, go read your Bible. What Jesus did is in there. Yes he loves us all, but he does not like sin or ungodliness. God has given us time to change and do what is right in God's sight. We love a lot of people, but we are not intimate with them all. Sex is what defines a relationship from friendship to some sort of commitment. It's a big part of a couples relationship, although it's not the only aspect of a relationship. All that other stuff you mentioned, you can get that from a friend. But you have be wise when you decide who becomes more than a friend. God made Adam and Eve (man and woman) and told them to have sex and produce babies ( paraphrased). Two men or two women cannot do this. This should tell you something about what is right and what is wrong. God shunned the homosexual lifestyle of those of Sodom and Gomorrah and he destroyed them and their city. Read your bible and understand. God is a God of love, mercy and forgiveness, and he is also a God of judgement and vengeance.
I would honestly like to know where the courage is? Didn't he get a call from the president? I sure hope Obama calls every single soldier in reserve or who has fought. Plus cops and firemen
+gina stevens you are right but with that being said do you let guys and girls change or shower in the same place. it's not like everybody wants to get with everybody else but you still don't let them get naked in the same place.
***** I grew up with a guy, who was married.. we went Abalone diving all the time. Many times, did I change wetsuits in the bathroom, and this guy was always there. Always noticed, even though he was married and had a kid, that things were just awkward.. Later on, 10 years or so later, he came out of the closet, only for him to apologize.. awkward conversation.. he got divorced, I had a couple of beers with him.. he was in our family by marriage. I called him, asked what he was doing, he said "oh, just sitting around being a big old fag now".. we laughed.. that night, he apologized for checking out my junk in the locker at the beach campground.. said I had a nice looking schlong.. Trust me, it's the same as a guy being in a girl's locker room.. hence the comment. Always wondered why he'd get a semi... was always very awkward. If a guy was in a girl's locker room Gina, your entire point of view would be different. Being gay, means, you're straight up attracted to people of the same sex. Your hypothesis is incorrect. It's a guy.. if you were trapped in a guy's brain, you'd think similar.
No I don't think you understand bigot. Someone saying a guy has given his soul to the Devil because he admits he is gay. That is bigotry 101 friend. Now answer the question and tell us your views on Jason being gay, do you approve?
Greatest nba team ever PG: Pat Bev SG: Tim Hardaway SF: Kobe PF: KD C: Draymond Prove me wrong they will all five guard Jason Collins for at least one play
Congratulations Jason for having the guts to express yourself! This was very supportive for many people. And let some primitive people say what they want! They still haven't learned to accept themselves and that makes them miserable but you know you do accept yourself and that makes you wonderful!
I can tell he's gay by how intelligently and well he talks and carries himself. Very proud of him. He's courageous and more of a man than all the old, angry, overweight conservative Romney voters commenting here.
The guy praying on the sidelines so God will lift him up and give him a good game is a bit screwed up if you ask me. What? It's a friggin basketball game!!
***** And you are down there when he is praying huh? So you know what he is praying for? How do you know he is not praying for the guy he saw moments ago in the wheelchair? Or maybe he is praying for you Benny ? And no I didn't ask you, it was a statement not a question.
Actually I was speaking of someone like Tebow or Larry Bird back in the days Men who were not ashamed to pray to God publicly. So tell me why is it wrong for them to announce, and show who they are... But If a man is gay well lets just throw a freaking party and bring out the rainbow flags! And hey it's okay because he is just showing what he is.
You're creating a false dichotomy. Neither a Christian athlete nor a gay athlete should be judged on the basis of their religion of choice or sexual orientation. What if he's a celibate gay Christian? Such a radical notion. No one would let him live.
People who say they don't care, why bother watching the video then? This is a HUGE milestone for LGBTQ people, like myself, and breaks a barrier. This is such a big deal! I wish the best of luck to him.
Don't listen to the people in the comments on this comment. Yo, there's actually studies that show that people who call others gay/make fun of gay people are actually highly likely to be gay themselves. You do what you want, if you're a great basketball player sexuality shouldn't be a part of it anyway.
I hate this man, not because he's gay but because of what he did. He stole something from my brother, and he's gone now. And for that I will always hold the highest level of contempt possible to this man. I swear I will avenge my brother.
I can't believe all the negative comments on this video. Calling him perverted for sharing his sexuality with the world? The way people think these days is why I'm losing faith in humanity. I'm 100% sure that he's coming out to show other LGBT people out there, young and old, that they're not alone and they don't have to be ashamed of who they are or who they love. Why can't that be the first reason that pops into your mind?
Exactly. I don't want some guy who has been shamed into the closet wrecking my daughter's life because he had to keep up some facade to protect himself from a bunch of small minded-morons.
It takes a lot to overlook the stereotypes and stop hiding who he is. Good for you Jason Collins. GAY doesnt have a color, voice, gender, profession, but only a sense of love. And for all of you haters on these comments, just live your life and stop worrying about others and maybe you can be happy too.
True. According to American media, coming out of the closet makes you a hero regardless of whether you lied to your fiance for eight years. This man deserves no praise. We should not be giving a flying fuck about him.
people dont praise him that is gay. people praise him because he had the courage to came out, and that actually helps other understand gay is just normal more important helps gay people accept themselves.
According to my teacher who has 2 master's degrees (do you?) he clearly states from treating homosexual men and women for over 35 years, homosexuality is a Conditioned Emotional Response.
It's a big deal because he's the first ever in the league to come out as gay. It's a big deal because sexuality is still stigmatised in 2013. It's a big deal because there have probably been a number of other gay athletes who could never come out because the professional sports tend to be bastion of homophobic bigotry.
I never had to my "conscience" and the Bible informed me that being homosexual (choosing to engage in homosexual activity) was wrong - I was designed to be compatible for a woman - Sexual activity is a choice - i simply went the direction that i was designed for.
You can't stop progress. Society is becoming more and more tolerant and accepting every day, and those who continue to hate and discriminate will find less and less people who agree with their narrow minded beliefs.
funny when the narrator says ''house hold name like kobe, shaq, lebron until now'' just because he decided to publicize his sexuality wow. guess he will be the MVP now
because many people are scared to say they are gay.. especially in sports... he is doing much more than telling who he has sex with... he is showing that it is possible for someone to be out and gay in the NBA. He might encourage some one else to step up and be honest about their sexuality.
I used to live in a gay town 20+ years ago. That people coming out as gay makes news and is announced by the white house amazes me. I even worked for a highly successful married gay couple in the early 90's. Yes, they had been married for 10 years and had adopted not one, but two children. This kind of thing is nothing new at all. Bizarre that it is even news.
Then why are you worried about where this guy stands or anyone else? If you really are worried or concerned, you shouldn't be making him an outsider/outcast.
I don't think most people have criticised Tim Tebow for being a Christian. I think many people have a problem with his particular moralising and controlling evangelical form of Christianity.
"Sixty-eight percent of the present homosexual male participants and 38% of the present homosexual female participants (68 and 36%, respectively, if including just the homosexual fair participants) did not identify as homosexual until after the molestation." YOU LOSE
it is inspirational that he had the courage to come out....good for him...just because you don't agree with some thing does not mean you have to be disrespectful and hateful... this doesn't have to change the way you live your life, so why are you so mad?
There's nothing wrong for him to reveal himself being a gay, after all, some will follow his footstep and more players will reveal about their real identity!
Some gay people can remember their past but, alot of them just didn't want to. Taking yourself back as a kid, you just don't enter or react with being gay. Actions, comes from what you see.
I still don't get why everyone thinks he is brave and shit. He just said he was gay, it's really not that big of a deal. And I don't even really support it.
Dang! Didn't know he had a fiance until now. Just read he had been with her 8 years. That's pretty fricked up that he led this woman on to believe he was straight for 8 years. Can't believe this dude is being praised as some hero, especially after finding out this chick invested 8 years into him thinking he was straight.
No, I'm a female that who likes men. I only had connection with men not females. I was talking a gay guy friend of mine. He was the one who likes both sex , but only like the other sex better. My point was to prove that being gay is by choice. So when you was born a baby, you are innocent. There's no way that you know what sex to like at that time.
and this is 2013, he's a pro athlete what discrimination as far as being black did he face?? Very little considering basketball is a primarily black dominated sport. For him to come out of the closet and then say I'M BLACK and I'm gay was unnecessary. Just come out the damn closet we all have eyes and can see he's black.
Last time I check, the word selfish is not hate. Hell I'm just,expressing my feelings and a person right now, is attacking me for my beliefs. I never comment nothing really hateful, until a gay person call me a bigot. Again, I do have love for everybody, not hate. Shit, if your ass say that you born gay, I know how could you remember the first time you was born? How can you possibly know what sex to like as a infant? There is a reason why I comment, you are not born gay.
I respect the fact that you care so much for us gay people. But you need to stop commenting, you obviously have nothing better to do with your spare time rather then to reply to RUclips comments. #WasteOfHumanResource.

"First pro athlete says he's gay"
damn didn't know the first pro athlete EVER in the history of sports was gay🧐
Not sure how this guy qualifies as a hero. Jackie Robinson is a hero, Ali is a hero, Roberto Clemente is a hero.
You're deluding yourself
Henny Lopez media loves gay people
Sports needs a star like Tom Brady or Lebron James level to come out for it to make a real difference
Blessed dumbest statement ever
J How so?
That has to be the STUPIDEST Statement I have heard in my entire life. I don't think I need to explain why

Glorified for being gay. But a Christian athlete is made fun of because he prays on the sidelines. One screwed up world!!

My point was to prove that being gay is by choice. So when you was born a baby, you are innocent. There's no way that you know what sex to like at that time.
and this is 2013, he's a pro athlete what discrimination as far as being black did he face?? Very little considering basketball is a primarily black dominated sport. For him to come out of the closet and then say I'M BLACK and I'm gay was unnecessary. Just come out the damn closet we all have eyes and can see he's black.
Last time I check, the word selfish is not hate. Hell I'm just,expressing my feelings and a person right now, is attacking me for my beliefs. I never comment nothing really hateful, until a gay person call me a bigot. Again, I do have love for everybody, not hate. Shit, if your ass say that you born gay, I know how could you remember the first time you was born? How can you possibly know what sex to like as a infant? There is a reason why I comment, you are not born gay.
I respect the fact that you care so much for us gay people. But you need to stop commenting, you obviously have nothing better to do with your spare time rather then to reply to RUclips comments. #WasteOfHumanResource.
Okay encourage gays on tv but when a athlete say something about religion he gets fined
