The basketball player selected number 98 as an homage to Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in 1998 for being gay. Collins would play most of his professional basketball career without publicly acknowledging he was gay. In 2011, he came out to close friends and family. When he publicly announced he was gay in 2013, Collins was one of the first male major league athletes to do so. In 2014, Collins announced his retirement. Now he now serves as an NBA ambassador and is a gay rights activist. #EntertainmentHistory #SportsHistory #BasketballHistory #Basketball #SmithsonianPride #Pride #NBA #JasonCollins #AfricanAmericanHistory #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #LGBTQ #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQIA」6月17日 10時39分
