NY Post reports:
Derrick Gordon has come out as the first openly gay active male college basketball player in Division I history.
The UMass guard — a redshirt sophomore who hails from Plainfield, NJ, and attended St. Patrick in Elizabeth — came out to his teammates last Wednesday, according to an espnW story.
Gordon’s gotten help from coach Derek Kellogg to deliver his message to the team.
Kellogg had called an impromptu team meeting and said, “We’re all here together, and we need to love each other for who we are. One of your family members, your brother, wants to let you know something about himself.”
