Does it matter that Jason Collins says he is gay?

Why should I care if Washington Wizards basketball player Jason
Collins
is gay, straight, or undetermined? I don't follow pro basketball,
but if
Collins is good enough to play in the NBA, why should anyone give a
damn
about his sexual preference?
It didn't make any difference to me when I read that Leonardo da
Vinci
might have been gay, and he was a guy who really mattered.
I do understand why announcing his preference might matter to
Collins,
but really, why does anyone else care? Yet, it seems that many
people do.
D'oh.
None of my business
Perfect answer, because it really isn't anyone's business except Jason
Collins. I'm astonished at how much "play" it is getting in what
passes
for news reports these days.
