University of Massachusetts Minuteman Derrick Gordon stepped forward 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."

This is the happiest I have ever been in my 22 Years of living...** more HIDING!!!...Just want to live… http://t.co/rR9KO8nGCu
