I worry that this is going to be damaging to gay athletes and coaches who want to come out.
One of my biggest fears before coming out was that my male friends would have thought I was going to treat them differently. I didn’t want them to look at me differently because they thought I was looking at them differently. When you are a closeted gay person, you tend to find reasons to stay closeted and the fear that your peers will think you are going to make a move on them is absolutely one of those reasons.
