To those still reluctant to come out, I offer this; there will never be a perfect time, only time you waste living a lie and time you cherish living your truth. We don't know how much time we have on this earth so cherish it.
Ryan Russell, an NFL free agent, opened up about his sexual orientation, saying he is bisexual. He is the only male athlete in the 4 major professional sports leagues to openly identify as LGBTQ.
To the parents of queer kids who are at risk of self-harm, your child doesn't struggle with same-sex attraction; your child struggles with shame and feeling unaccepted. Change that, not your kid.
The
@NFL
is not changing; LGBTQ+ athletes are a part of every sport and always have been. The only thing changing is the amount of love, acceptance, and comfortability we feel every day just being ourselves and being supported by our teammates, coaches, and the game's fans.

no matter how masculine we are, no matter whether we are dating a man or woman, and we deserve to be seen. Just like everyone, we deserve to be loved.
“There’s a prevailing notion that sports are a microcosm of our society, but I believe the greater truth is that sports are the conductor of our society, a sculpture of what we hope to be in the future.”
My thoughts and prayers go out to Carl Nassib, the countless closeted NFL players, female staff, black people, and people of color who have and continue to work in environments where they feel unwelcome and unwanted. The NFL will change because you all deserve better.
Respect, love, and appreciation to the mothers of trans youth I know this year have been incredibly difficult and terrifying for you and your families. We got your back, and you’re doing a phenomenal job.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out and supported me in this time of freedom & truth. I will continue to pursue football and truth relentlessly. The best way for me to do that is once again step on the field as who I am and who I’ve always been. Thank you again.
Regardless of your sex or gender, if you're in a relationship with someone bisexual, you're in a queer or LGBTQ+ relationship. Hetero passing couples aren't heterosexual couples.
I’m so proud to share the cover of my book, THE YARDS BETWEEN US, available on May 16, 2023. Take a look and preorder now! Read more via

As someone who is bisexual and has suffered from severe depression, I urge all bi+ people to make their health and wellness a priority this month and every month. To everyone, please help us combat the social, economic, and health disparities bi+ people face.

Prison or Passion is a vulnerable look into my life as a young black man raised by a single mother. A tale of heart break, loss, addiction, healing, and much more. Without a father I redefined manhood for myself. NFL player & poet.
Blown away by the love and support the

Bisexual and bi+ characters often seem rare and obscure in both straight and gay tv/film when we are the largest part of the LGBTQ+ community. Generally, there are not enough bi-characters to begin with.
😏👨❤️💋👨 It’s time to get sex positive! For too long, LGBTQ people have not been able to talk about sex and how to keep ourselves and partners safe. That changes today with the launch of My Body. Check it out.
