Bradley Kim, a safety for the Air Force football team, announced that he is gay.

He went public on his social media profiles on Friday afternoon. Kim said he was unsure he’d ever reach a point where he was comfortable enough to do so.

“I did not think this day would ever come, but I’ve finally reached the point where I am comfortable and confident enough with myself to say that I am gay,” Kim wrote. “It’s been a long road to get to this point and I definitely would not be here without the love and support of my amazing family, teammates and coaches here at the academy, and my equally amazing friends. I feel blessed to have such receptive and understanding people in my life.”

So glad he is able to do this and be accepted. Good for him, and good for all of us.

Here's a question, what's the salient difference between a homosexual male showering with hetero males and hetero males and females showering together?

Um....the first are both male and the second group is mixed gender?

It's 2018 - how is this story political or otherwise controversial? Should people not be coming out of the closet or something?

You assume gay men are attracted to every man they see. Your assumption is wrong. They have preferences just like straight people.

totally agree. The only reason I can see is to draw attention to the issue. I do not see it as big news, nor should it be controversial at all. Now, 20 years ago, maybe.

Until last year, there had never been an openly gay player in an NCAA Division I FBS game. Kim might be the second or third such player if he gets on the field this season.

(Some of you may remember Michael Sam of Missouri; he came out to his teammates in his senior year, but not publicly until after his final game.)
