Carolyn Moos says she had no idea that Jason Collins, her longtime boyfriend and fiancé, was actually gay.
In the Sports Illustrated piece featuring his groundbreaking revelation, the 12-year NBA veteran wrote, "When I was younger I dated women. I even got engaged. I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue."

I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue."
Moos, however, didn't know. The former WNBA player told TMZ that she only found out about Collins' orientation a couple of days before the world did:
"Carolyn tells TMZ, she never once suspected he was gay, so the news is shocking. She says Collins eventually revealed everything last weekend — just days before his big announcement — and said that his homosexuality was the real reason he ended things with her.
At the time of their breakup, Carolyn says Jason gave a bunch of BS reasons for calling it quits ... and she could never understand what went wrong, until now. [...]
"It's very emotional for me as a woman to have invested [eight] years in my dream to have a husband, soul mate, and best friend in him. So this is all hard to understand."
Moos, 34, met Collins while the two were both students at Stanford, where she played on the women's basketball team before embarking on a pro career that included stints with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, Miami Sol and Minnesota Lynx. The couple dated for seven years and got engaged; Collins ended the engagement in 2009.
"Calling off the wedding was obviously a tough decision," Collins said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America." "But it was the right one because I knew I wasn't getting married for the right reasons."
While Moos told TMZ she had a hard time processing the real reasons behind the relationship's ending, she doesn't harbor ill will toward Collins.
"I care about [Jason] tremendously and only want the best for him," she said. "I want Jason to be happy for a lifetime and stay true to who he really is, inside and out."

OMG trolls,
have you nothing better to do with your life than trolling and posting bullshit? No? OK.
Man needs to get his sh*t together and quit hiding behind women. It was 2009, not 1950. Which he has done. So Kudos!
Man needs to get his sh*t together and quit hiding behind women. It was 2009, not 1950.
And this was 2011.
"The Vereeniging District Court has heard about the alleged torture and murder of a 15-year-old boy at a controversial game-ranger training camp in 2011, it was reported on Wednesday.
Raymond Buys died a month after being admitted to a Vereeniging hospital, emaciated and with, among others, skull fractures, following a 10-week stay at the camp, during which he was banned from contacting his family, according to a report in Beeld.
Camp owner Alex de Koker, 49, and his employee, Michael Erasmus, 20, have been charged with murder, child abuse, neglect and two cases of assault with intent to cause serious physical injury.
On Tuesday, Gerhard Oosthuizen, 19, reportedly testified that Buys, with whom he shared a tent during the training course, was chained to his bed every night, was refused permission to visit the toilet and forced to eat his own faeces."
That was not America. It is entirely different today, in America.
Also, this doesn't say anything about the boy was abused because he was gay.
Gays can now serve openly in the military and get married in America, with the Supreme Court hearing a landmark case that could declare marriage a right for the entire country. TIME die a huge story about how the positive change in US attitudes. Pretty mainstream.
South Africa has a poor human rights record generally, including for women. They are very liberal regarding LGBT rights and do have marriage rights.

Try reading the article.

America, 2013.
Gay teen who hanged himself after being bullied has died
I did.
It suggests it but cannot say it directly.
South Africa just had a high-profile murder of a woman by an Olympic athlete, and a racist regime at one time.
There is still work to do - but we have made dramatic positive changes for gay rights in America.
President Obama has done a great job for this. He and the First Lady publicly gave their support to Jason Collins.
I had hoped to see the day - that it would follow the road of racism that in that one day racism would be frowned upon by society and socially unacceptable. And now that day is here - it is frowned upon and becoming socially unacceptable to be homophobic. You do still have instances of both racism and homophobia, but the general stance of the people is that it is unacceptable.
That was not America. It is entirely different today, in America.
New York City, 2013.
Gay Man Attacked On New York City Subway, Onlookers Do Nothing
Also, bullied teens are still young and immature children and do need help and support.
We are talking about adult, rich professional men in 2013. Those men need to not hide behind women and stand up on their own two feet, and they've got the positive wave of a changing society to help them today.
it is frowned upon and becoming socially unacceptable to be homophobic
In states like Wyoming?
Another example:
05/01/2013
"Remarkably, there are only 16 states that currently have workplace non-discrimination laws that are fully inclusive of LGBT people. This leaves LGBT people vulnerable to workplace discrimination in well over half of the country -- an unacceptable situation that must be changed.
To address this, last week, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) was reintroduced in Congress. The legislation would prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in most American workplaces, a critically important step towards full equality for LGBT people.

Yes.
Nobody said there wasn't still work to do - but it is entirely different today in America than it used to be.
Jon Tester, Democratic WY senator, endorses gay rights and gay marriage.
Oops, Montana.
but it is entirely different today in America than it used to be
It is.
But America is still the place where gays are officially second class citizens (law) and where people hate you for being gay.
Jon Tester, Democratic WY senator, endorses gay rights and gay marriage.
Nice. Would you recommend your gay male friends to walk the streets of Montana or Wyoming holding hands? I'm sure you wouldn't.

"Regretfully, due to date conflicts between the film I am currently shooting for David O Russell and Jane Got a Gun, I am unable to join Natalie, Joel, Noah and Gavin on this truly exciting project," Cooper said in a statement.
Jane Got a Gun stars Portman as a woman who is forced to turn to an ex-lover (Edgerton) for help after her outlaw husband (Emmerich) is targeted by a murderous gang.
Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hiddleston are said to be on the shortlist of names to replace Cooper as the leader of the gang.

Is that an OMG troll who keeps posting tweets from Austin Nichols?? Those OMG trolls must be desperate!
OMG trolls know that game is OVER.
Come on OMG trolls, when was the last time Jake, Austin and "kids" were in the same city at the same time? July 2012? LOL
Game is 110% OVER since Jake moved to New York City.
Retarded OMG trolls,
1. Special K and OMG blog are obsessed about every Austin's move, hoping to find some fake tweet and use it to lie about Austin and Jake being together.
2. Austin tweets are posted because they are facts, something that confirms how Austin isn't anywhere near Jake for years.

You can't ignore facts if you are sane and want to prove something.

Claim that Jake and Austin are married and have kids is based on ignoring facts.
So you admit you are trying to prove something to OMGers about J&A. Yep you are obsessed with Austin and OMG.

The New York Post: said...
"Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire celebrated the premiere of “The Great Gatsby” in Gatsby-esque fashion at The Darby after the VIP screening at Lincoln Center and the after-party at the Plaza Hotel on Wednesday night. The pair hosted “Gatsby” director Baz Luhrmann, Jay-Z, Maguire’s wife, Jennifer Meyer, Carey Mulligan, Jamie Foxx, Amanda Seyfried, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anja Rubik, Coco Rocha, Lil Jon, Gayle King and Rohan Marley at the West 14th street restaurant. Guests were entertained by a 1920’s-inspired performance by Dandy Wellington and the Darby Band. “It was like New York’s version of the Globes with A-listers everywhere — at one table Leo, Tobey, Jen, Tom Hardy and Baz; another with Jay-Z, Florence Welch and Jake; and another with Jamie, Lil Jon, and Rohan,” said a guest at the uber-exclusive affair. Once Wellington’s performance ended, DJ Sal Morale spun tunes while Voli cocktails were served up. We’re told Welch got excited when her song “Over the Love,” which is featured on the “Gatsby” soundtrack, came on. “She jumped on a banquette and started dancing,” a witness relates. The party then moved to 1OAK, where spies told us Leo, Jay and Jake took over the VIP section of the club until 4 a.m
“The Great Gatsby” - was so bored with the trailer, watched only first half.

Two men were viciously attacked near Madison Square Garden after a pack of toughs began taunting them with anti-gay slurs, cops said Tuesday.
The victims — Kevin Atkins, 22, and Nick Porto, 28 — were walking arm-in-arm down Eighth Ave. near W. 34th St. when four men approached and started calling them an anti-gay epithet before shoving them to the ground about 6:45 p.m. Sunday, cop sources said.
One suspect punched Porto in the face, breaking his nose. Atkins hurt his hand in the scuffle. The attackers ran away before emergency workers arrived to take the two victims to Bellevue Hospital, where they were treated and released.

That makes sense. Austin works in LA, had a bit of fun in Vegas and is probably back in LA or Austin, TX.
Or behind a potted palm again.
but Monday night he was dressed down and way west of New York, this time it looks like at the movies, from the large Gatsby promo behind him."
Way west = Los Angeles. And fitting with the tweet of him at The Grove (movie theatres are at The Grove).
