What a brave thing to say in front of a mostly misogynistic and homophobic audience. Good on him for speaking the truth.Â
There are many lgbtqia+ athletes who still have to hide who they are in order to keep their careers in 2026.

I don’t even go here, but man it’s refreshing to see something like this when it comes to sport. I only wish motorsport had more trailblazers like Jason Collins. Everything I’ve heard/read about him the last few days has been very touching

I hope this planted a small seed of thought to those who don’t understand or have opposing views. Or, I hope someone who needs to hear this, heard it and it helps them in life.
This whole conversation and all input was thoughtful, respectful, and just beautiful.
