Good on him! I worry though what happens if he doesn't get offered a contract in the offseason. His age and stage of his career might prove to be an excuse for GM's to pass on him, when in reality they are trying to avoid the potential distraction. This has to be a small first step among many over the coming years towards eliminating the stigma to the point where sexual orientation makes no difference in the minds of GMs, coaches, teammates, opponents and fans.
