Description

John Amaechi, a former player with the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic, has become the first NBA player to come out as gay. “I am not a hero nor am I special in any regard,” Amaechi told ESPN in his first television interview. “I am simply doing what a good person of conscience would do, which is making people aware that gay people don’t just look like Jack from ‘Will and Grace,’ and that they don’t want to jump your bones every occasion and that some are camp and some are butch and that we’re different and we’re useful and we are here.”
