Bradley Kim, a defensive back at the Air Force Academy, announced on Friday that he is gay. Kim, who shared his story on his Instagram account and through an interview with OutSports, is the first active player at a service academy to publicly come out.

"The biggest reason I want to share this is to be able to reach people who are in similar situations struggling with the same things I have struggled with," Kim told OutSports. "I want to be that example for kids that you can be gay, you can pursue your dreams, and you can have an athletic career.

"My dreams got me to a D1 football program. I want to be there for people who don't feel like they have anyone there for them, because I was that kid growing up in high school."

Don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I just wanted to announce to all my FRiends that I’m coming out as straight. That is all.

He gets a standing O for coming out as a sodomite, but would be hustled to the door and booted, had he carried a Bible.

It’s weird that anybody defines their humanity by how they behave sexually in private.

The Navy is far ahead of the Air Force in embracing sodomy. Remember however the individual who now ‘leads’ the Air Force Academy. This has become an institutional change; you either embrace the sodomy or you don’t get promoted beyond colonel.

Hey, kids, you can also be straight but you won’t get as much attention.

Yep. Sounds like someone is worried about getting cut from the team.

“Telling everyone you have sex with anyone is tasteless. Telling people you enjoy buggery is disgusting. Telling everyone you enjoy buggery with males is blasphemy, You are a pervert and should keep it to yourself. You can’t make it a beautiful thing between 2 people or normalize an unhealthy sexual practice. Being gay may not be a choice, but being celibate is. What happens in PRVACY between consenting ADULTS is none of my business. Make your perversion public and you have just created your own problems.”

I nominate you for Post Of The day!

Wow football players, the military academies and even the military has changed dramatically from as recent as 10 years ago.

What happened in the past 10 years? Oh, yeah, Mans Country Barry.

Standing ovation?

What’s going on in THAT locker room?

The Russians and Chi-coms must be laughing their asses off.

He can’t figure out what his reproductive organs are for, and he likes skinny dipping in a sewer pipe?

I don't see why anybody is shocked by this.

The current Commandant of Cadets (Brig. General Kristin Goodwin) is an openly gay lesbian who lives in base housing with her "wife" and their two children and is responsible for the military and moral direction and training of the Cadet Wing.

The fish is rotting from the head down and the stench is becoming insufferable.
