UPDATE: If you missed the discussion, you can see it its entirety here.
I’ll be a guest on HuffPost Live talking about Jason Collins, faith, and sports today.
HuffPost Live’s segment is billed as
Jason Collins is 34, black, and gay—and religious. Collins’ coming out presents an intersection of LGBT rights, religious freedom, and professional sports. What role does faith play for athletes and what it means to be gay in the NBA?
- Rev. Paul Raushenbush, HuffPost Senior Religion Editor, New York, NY
- Rev. Alan Rudnick, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa, Albany, NY
- Esera Tuaolo, Former NFL Football Player; Author of ‘Alone In the Trenches,’ Minneapolis, MN
- Paul Shirley, Former NBA Basketball Player; Author of ‘Can I Keep My Jersey?’ Los Angeles, CA
- Tom Krattenmaker, Author of ‘Onward Christian Athletes’ and ‘The Evangelicals You Don’t Know,’ Portland, OR
Some have suggested that because Collins identifies as a Christian he cannot be a Christian because he is gay.
