Nothing to lose? That is stupid. This could easily effect his chances to get jobs post-NBA. What if he wanted to work for a team somehow, either as a staff member, announcer,etc. and they didn't hire him because of this?

Here is a long Broussard video with more context. Talks about him and a gay (or at least, gay supporting friend) who get along, even though they have different views on the subject.

Much attention has been given to genetic studies. Among homosexual males and females who have identical twins, about half of their twins are likewise homosexual. Since monozygotic [identical] twins are genetic duplicates, it seemed logical to conclude that some mysterious gene caused the deviation. However, note that half the twin siblings were not homosexual. If this trait were really genetically programmed, would not all the twins have it? True, genes and hormones may play some role. Even so, Scientific American reported the findings of some that the evidence “strongly suggests that environment contributes significantly to sexual orientation.”

I love how offensive this board is to read sometimes. Makes my day every time.
Sad we can't have a sense of humor about anything these days with out people making baseless judgments against people. Sorry if I offended anyone with my comment, but it was not meant with any mean spirit. I just saw the quote somewhere else and thought it was funny.
To be honest about this situation is I'm happy for him and if he feels this was what he wanted to do then it's great. I hope more people follow. Being trapped, pretending to being someone you are not has to be one of the worst things. The more people start to realize there are more out there then they think, the more exposure and the more "normal" it becomes, the better it will be for everyone. I look forward to the day when a "celeb" being gay is a non-issue.
For the record, I am for gay marriage/marriage equality. I always have been. Anyone who knows me would know that. I don't think it's right to tell someone else how to live their life when it's hurting no-one else. No, I don't believe it's hurting marriage or family or kids that are adopted by them. I also have no problem with people joking about things and having fun with situations. Even if it's towards me. Insults and blind accusations do bug me though.

In this day and age, if a homosexual person doesn't get a job, they usually will right away say it's because they're gay. I don't think he has to worry about finding a job. Hell, he'll probably get signed to a team just because of this, even though he sucks at basketball.
If that was true, a lot more people would be claiming they were gay.
Why would anyone choose to be gay? This would never happen!!

Nope. I'm just being myself, while I hear religious people telling me that I'm a horrible person.
I didn't choose my homosexuality-- you chose your religion. Anti-gay religious people are choosing to be a bigot, where I just have to deal with it.
