It's Pride Month again. Thanks to the touching love stories of the stars and their courage to come out publicly, the world is no longer homophobic and respects diversity and equal rights. Thanks to their encouragement and inspiration, supporters have learned to be themselves and no longer hide their true orientation. Only by loving yourself can you have the ability to love others. Isn't this the truth of life?
Maybe some people feel that there is no need to tell the world about their private affairs since they are public figures after all. However, when necessary, they still have to stand up and clarify. In addition to eliminating hate theories and rumors, their purpose is to let the world see them and use their influence to inspire fans to come out of the darkness and accept their gay identity. You think it is a simple coming out and confession of love, but in fact they are gambling on their future and speaking out for equal rights. If it causes dissatisfaction in the company, they may be banned at any time. Of course, the stars will not be able to gain a foothold in the industry. Fortunately, basketball star Jason Collins has the support of NBA senior management, which has allowed him to hold on until now and walk into the marriage hall with his partner, film producer Brunson Green.
They have been in love for more than ten years and got engaged in 2023. Recently, he was interviewed by The Athletic and talked about his experience of coming out in 2013. He said that he had communicated with the league and knew that after the article and story were published, he would definitely receive various voices. Fortunately, with the support of his friends and the NBA, he accomplished what he thought was impossible. At that time, players would not be punished for homophobic remarks until the implementation of new fines in the 21st century. For him, this was an act of support from the NBA.
