Quote:Jackie Robison was born black. He could not change or hide this fact.


Nobody has to know you're gay.


The race comparisons are an extreme stretch.

 

Chris Kluwe said the exact same words that were used when Jackie Robinson joined the MLB are what we are hearing now about Michael Sam. That is the comparison: a bunch of people are worried about the first guy being a distraction, etc. while many others hail him for his bravery to be the first guy. In that respect, Kluwe says, we know what will happen, because, "We already know what happened." Of course, his words hold weight because he is a member of Athlete Ally, which supports LGBT athletes. I read he was at the coming out party and personally helped Sam last weekend.
