An Important Series About a Famous Athlete Coming Out
5 December 2021
I only know about Colton Underwood as a handsome pro-athlete who was on The Batchelor. Now this five-part series is about his often painful and protracted time coming out as a gay man. That's a good thing because the often homophobic world of professional sports needs to come to terms with it's closeted gay members, and stop the mindless name-calling, and locker room talk that made and continue to make other gay athletes cringe. There is a level of self-involvement that makes me want to say, "Oh come on, Colton. It's not all about you." When he goes to his school to tell his beloved football coach that the kind of locker room jargon that he allowed to happen made him, made him sad. But he left it there. He should have said, there are young men coming out that he will have to coach, and he hoped that from their conversation, he would be sensitive enough to discourage this ind of behavior. It might have been less awkward for the coach to hear and respond to. Colton is often uncomfortable.
