NBA Player Jason Collins Comes Out to Sports Illustrated

NBA Player Jason Collins Comes Out to Sports Illustrated
Carolyn Moos met NBA Center Jason Collins at Stanford where they both played basketball. They dated and the couple later became engaged. Sounds like your average love story until Moos finds out that Collins is gay. Moos spoke out on Tuesday stating that she never knew even after spending nearly 10 years with Collins and after he called off their engagement. “It's not easy to understand. I had dreams of having children and having a husband, and I still have those dreams,” Moos told the Daily News regarding the NBA player coming out. “Anger was a definite emotion that I had to work through,” she said. “I think it would only be human to be angry about diminished dreams. Otherwise, I would think that you're robotic.” Collins came out in Sports Illustrated this week and Moos insists that there was no indication that he was gay. “Every morning, he woke up and put on a mask for 33 years,” said Moos. “That's unbelievable to me . . . I just can't imagine going through 33 years of your life and denying yourself out of fear.” The article in Sports Illustrated went online on Monday.
