All of those people that put him down and called him names are doing something that they never imagine they would be doing. They're now watching him on their TV screens, all because he was being himself! His bravery can save some lives!

@thyslop1737 4 года назад

Indiana State? Never seen them on Tv. Must not even be Division 1. So, why is it necessary to display your homosexuality all over the place? Do you want an award? Please give me a platform so I can tell the world I am normal. Is this a platform to get us to accept your shame and try to normalize it?

@grantedwards1024 6 лет назад

It was so hard for me back in the late 60's. No social media. No computers. and coming out was a way to be avoided by most people. You kids are luckier today. Jake is another story because he was an all american. what courage.

Not really. He's more accepted because he's playing a male dominated sport. Football for Christ sake... If he was wearing makeup and talked with a lisp it would be a TOTAL different story. Society only approves of masculine things.

Years ago it was "news" when a black player was signed to a major league sports team. Maybe one day something like this brave young man "coming put" will not be news. Hopefully sooner than later homophobes will be relegated to the "dustbin of history" like the kkk.

@RLucas3000 6 лет назад

@daleschroeder4708 6 лет назад

Best wishes to Jake, he's the kid who lives in everybody's neighborhood who has grown up to be a real man of character, standing tall for his identity despite what any else might think. Hopefully, sometime soon his story will become a non-issue because as a society, we will finally look at how a person lives their life rather than who they may love.

@brentduanefoster 6 лет назад

"Who cares?!", some people may ask. Because even though there has been great progress for the LGBTQ community on so many fronts, we still have a long way to. Coming out is a declaration of ownership of one's authenticity and reality. It is still necessary today.

@wtf2406 6 лет назад

@gameshowguy2000 6 лет назад

Tarek, the others hit it on the nose. Remember Michael Sam a few years ago? He was the first NFL player to come out, even if he didn't play all that much. And he's paving the way for *future* players to do so, such as this guy.

@jupitersrainfall2681 6 лет назад

at this point in time, how is it newsworthy? no one really cares, and if they do, they need to reevaluate what they deem as important.

The fact that LGBT+ people still require to "Come Out" is just sad to me. Why can't being LGBT+ a natural thing that don't require people to do some Coming Out ritual?

@AlexS-oj8qf 5 лет назад

@Young God Yes, but why we want things to be natural? I mean our whole life is Human trying to change things from Natura to something else. Lamps isn't Natural, God created Stars and the Moon as natural lights and we invent lamps so much that we can't even see God's creation now.

@thatbitch3254 4 года назад

@The Unknown you haven't demonstrated that god exsists, and homosexuality is proven to be natural sexyal variation in humans and animals. You you saying that it's "not natural" is wrong.. Abd the god thing is irrelevant until it's proven that there is creator.

I can't believe that people are bashing him in these comments. I have been fighting this battle for over 50 years and genuinely thought that we had made it past this homophobic crap. Very disappointed that this brave young man has to waste his energy to be himself and win games at the same time. He plays team sports. But the homophobes don't include him when they say "we won" from the stands. They are not fit to clean the dirt off his shoes.
