    I think this is terrific news. It always warms my heart to hear about men coming out whenever they are in fields associated with hypermasculinity.

    Just proves to show that you can't necessarily tell if someone's gay/bi/lesbian/trans just by looking at them.

    Interesting, I didn't know that.

    Obviously this means nothing now given that I can't prove what I thought before he came out (I'd never heard of him before now actually), but I think those eyebrows/general facial features give it away :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.

    Interesting that the first primary North American sport to have a current athlete come out would be boxing. Never would have guessed that.


    P.S. I dare some homophobe to try and pick a fight with this:
