University of Massachusetts Minuteman Derrick Gordon stepped forward (http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-commentary/article/10754317/espnw-university-massachusetts-minuteman-derrick-gordon-openly-smiling-decision-come-gay) as the first openly gay male athlete in Division 1 men's basketball
The sophomore shooting guard broke the news to his teammates in a meeting on April 2, during which UMass coach Derek Kellogg, who has a wife of nine years, broke the ice by first telling his players, "I wanted to let you all k**w I'm gay."
Gordon, taking the cue, jumped in: "**, he's **t. But I am."
