Default Does it matter that Jason Collins says he is gay?

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.


Harry, concerning world events involving a trigger happy nutcase in
North Korea, and the possibility of a threat of war with Syria being
proprietary issues, why would you think that some ball players sexual
orientation would be worthy mention?
