This is a big deal:

'Now I get to be like everybody else': The Gay Goalie

This kid is the first lacrosse goalie in thirty years to get the ball and run it all the way down the field to his own net.

Yet as Goldstein points out, "gay All-American" is a phrase that is still contradictory for some.

"All-American is what you think of, you know, the three kids, the white picket fence, All-American," Goldstein said. "And gay does not fit into that. So it's nice for me to hear 'gay All-American,' and to think it's just the same as 'All-American.' "

It is still a bit hard to live in a world where it is unprecedented for a college jock to be out. The last I saw was a water polo player. Still. There it is.

More to come.

The more the merrier.
