Jason Collins’ Ex-Fiancee Had No Idea He Was Gay
It seems that former NBA player Jason Collins lived a down low lifestyle before he revealed his bisexuality to the world via a Sports Illustrated cover story.
Collins is officially a NBA free agent, meaning he is not an active professional basketball player until he signed by a NBA team next season. But the media won’t let that little detail keep them from hyping Collins’s confession as “heroic” or history-making.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, Collins’ ex-fiancee, Carolyn Moos, had no idea the man she was engaged to for 8 years — and presumably slept with — was gay.
Moos tells TMZ she only found out Collins was gay last weekend — after he shot the cover for Sports Illustrated.
Jason Collins: “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay”
While the sports world buzzed about gay NFL players, a NBA player was planning to take his closet door off its hinges.
Jason Collins, center for the Boston Celtics, wrote a coming out letter exclusively for the May 6, 2013, issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.
I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport,” he writes. “But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, “I’m different.” If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.”
Collins is obviously implying that there were other gay NBA players in the closet with him.
Paris is Burning After Gay Marriage Legalized
300,000 protesters took to the streets in Paris, France to demonstrate against the gay marriage law which was approved by the lower house of the French Parliament last month. The ‘marriage for everyone’ bill comes up for a vote in the Senate next.
France becomes the fourteenth country in the world to legalize same sex marriage. The law was not put to a vote by the people, which angered many French citizens.
The French protesters believe the gay marriage law was passed due to the majority of homosexual politicians in the French parliament.
Video: Watch the First African Gay Wedding
Tshepo Cameron Modisane and Thoba Calvin Sithol got married in a traditional African wedding ceremony that is being referred to as a “first” in Africa. The couple were surrounded by 200 family members and friends who wholeheartedly endorsed the wedding. The ceremony included the slaughtering of a cow (for good luck I guess); the exchanging of gifts, and the wearing of traditional ceremonial garb. The happy couple plan a “fairy tale white wedding” later this year. They hope to start a family soon, through the use of a surrogate, since gay men can’t yet give birth. Source
