A Kansas State football player told his teammates and then the world that he is gay and there has been plenty written about this already, including this predictably thoughtful piece from Vahe.

The point I’d like to add is not about those who’ve embraced Scott Frantz’s courage, but about those who are uncomfortable with it.

Because you know they exist. There is a 100 percent certainty that one or more of his teammates and coaches are uncomfortable or worse with Frantz coming out. Also, there is a 100 percent certainty that a high school kid somewhere — football player or not — is feeling the same thing and mentally wrecked about how to handle it.
