in a way that little else does.

Jason Collins is the first male player from a major team sport to announce that he is gay.

I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier.

I'm Michael Sam, I'm a football player and I'm gay.

Robbie Rogers now breaking yet another barrier.

All the support has been overwhelming.

Because of you there's a little boy playing basketball right now

who knows that he can be who he is and play the sport that he loves.

When you look back on these years you will see a time in which

we put a stop to discrimination against gays and lesbians.

We have to be brave to step forward and declare to the rest of the world:

This is who I am.

On the field, there's no place for prejudice or discrimination,

just the art of playing.

Live your life the way you want to live it.

It doesn't matter who you love. What matters is to score goals.

Being gay in sports doesn't change the way you play the game.

Sport unites us.

Let's support a world where every athlete

can be proud of who they are.

It's important to be proud to play.

Proud to play!

This is the biggest moment in sports. It's our time to make a difference,

and to show the world that every athlete can be proud to play.

Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.

SUPPORT A WORLD WHERE EVERY ATHLETE CAN BE
