Will stigma fade as major pro athletes come out?
by Dyana Bagby   
May 24, 2013 00:00

Jason Collins

Angel McCoughtry, star player for the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, sat at a table with reporters in the belly of Phillips Arena during the basketball team’s recent media day.

Reporters asked her about playing overseas, about how the former Louisville star felt about her college being represented in the NCAA championships (the men won the title and the women lost the championship game to University of Connecticut) and her predictions for the upcoming Dream season.

When asked if she knew any gay players, she laughed knowingly.

And then she said she doesn’t care if a player is gay or straight.

40 years of LGBT pros in American sports

Kopay

Almost four decades separate the first ex-player and the first current player to come out in major U.S. men’s professional team sports: from retired NFL player David Kopay in 1975 to current NBA player Jason Collins late last month.

Here are some of the most prominent elite American athletes to come out in the intervening years. Trends include current athletes in individual sports, like tennis and golf, coming out earlier than athletes in team sports, and more current female athletes coming out than their male counterparts, who tend to come out after retiring.

Experts seek clues to how Supreme Court will rule next month

Ruth Bader Ginsberg

LGBT activists view U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a likely vote for equal protection in the two pending major cases involving marriage for same-sex couples.

But mainstream media outlets recently jostled that confidence by noting that she continues to express the view that the landmark abortion rights decision, Roe v. Wade, went “too far too fast.”

If the court’s most veteran supporter of equal rights for women believes Roe moved “too far too fast,” could she be urging an incremental approach to another controversial issue – marriage for same-sex couples?

minnesota state capitol via governor office

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is scheduled to sign a marriage equality bill into law today at 5 p.m. at the state capitol, making Minnesota the 12th state to allow same-sex couples to marry.

The legislation, approved by the state Senate yesterday, continues an unprecedented momentum toward marriage equality, with Minnesota being the sixth state to approve marriage equality in the past six months and the third to do so in the past two weeks.

Rhode Island’s legislature and governor approved a marriage equality law May 2. Delaware’s legislature and governor did so May 7.

‘Shock and disbelief’ after HIV vaccine trial halted
by Dyana Bagby

HIV vaccine

Nearly 200 metro Atlanta gay men participated in the national HIV vaccine trial named HVTN-505, known locally as Life Forward, before it was stopped last month after an oversight committee saw in preliminary results that people were being infected despite being vaccinated.

For Dr. Mark Mulligan, principal investigator of the Life Forward vaccine trial at Emory’s Hope Clinic, the news came as a huge disappointment.

“I was like, ‘Oh, wow.’ I felt a sort of shock and disbelief and disappointment. And there was some emotion,” he said.
