NBA球员正式宣布出柜Jason Collins，a National Basketball Association player has become the first active player in a major professional U.S. team sport to reveal he is homosexual. Free-agent center Jason Collins revealed he is gay in the cover article for this week's Sports Illustrated magazine. He wrote he did not 'set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport,' but he is 'happy to start the conversation.' Collins said he first realized he needed to reveal his sexuality last year when his friend and roommate at Stanford University, U.S. Representative Joe Kennedy, marched in Boston's Gay Pride parade. But this month's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon finally convinced him that he 'shouldn't wait for the circumstances of my coming out to be perfect.'
