Just a few years ago Jason Collins who identifies himself as a man was the first professional basketball player to come out as Homosexual. Of course he faced some backlash and was called numerous degrading names similar to Ricky as River High, but was he less of a man because of this?

Skeptics couldn’t fathom how a homosexual could play such an aggressive sport, even though he had an extremely long professional career. Jason Collins makes it apparent that the backbone of what defines a man according to the institutions throughout society does not posses any merit.
