Players routinely do community events, charities, and other functions representing their team. At these events they bring their significant other. He is a free agent. My guess is he wanted to prepare potential teams that he's going to live openly gay so if you don't want a guy on your team bringing his same sex partner to visit sick kids in the hospital...don't call him.
That might be OK for a old, has been center, but what if the gay player is your franchise player - the QB, the all-star point guard, home run slugger, the goalie?
I agree with this, why tell everyone? Most heterosexuals don't broadcast their sexual preference around the world, why should gays?
Except when they discuss their spouse or girlfriend, or are on page 5 in a paparazzi pic, or take their spouse or girlfriend to team events, or mention their weekend plans with their spouse. Or have their wedding in every newspaper and magazine.
Yeah, they never broadcast their sexual preference.

Kids get beat up for liking Justin Bieber, or wearing the wrong brand of jeans.
Maybe we should concentrate on punishing the aggressor and not the victim.
I don't believe anybody should be beaten up due to their sexuality.
But Justin Beiber, though.....
