Jason Collins - former Boston Celtics player
Jason Collins has turned the world of sport on its ear by coming out this week, but as expected, a surprising amount of ignorance and homophobia has greeted his welcomed news.
Larry Johnson - retired NY Knicks player
A series of Tweets from former NBA All-Star Larry Johnson, who still works as a business operations representative for the New York Knicks, reveals how some still harbor irrational positions in opposition to homosexuality and equal rights.
Now what's so ironic about Larry Johnson is this... He's well known by his nickname, "Grandmama" and so it appears that he feels its perfectly alright for him to dress in drag to sell shoes but he's scared to death that a gay man might be looking at him in the locker room...? In my humble opinion, Jason Collins is a far better role model for youth and adults alike. Larry Johnson and those who think like him, could learn a thing or two about tolerance and truth from Jason.
