Out Basketball Player Derrick Gordon did well in his First Division I game
This Friday, out-player, Derrick Gordon played his first game in Division I men's basketball.
He actually did good, I think (Not a sports person). Derrick led with 17 points for UMass, and they defeated Siena, 95-87. Fans also came out to support Derrick as well. The New York Times reported that this game had the most attendees since 1997.
I'm glad to hear his off to good start.

Gerald McCullouch talks about his relationship with Derrick Gordon
So, I posted about Derrick Gordon and actor Gerald McCullouch dating yesterday.
To be very honest, I was a bit shock to see them as a couple, and many, many others felt the same on Twitter and Facebook... Many!
E! talked to Gerald on how they met. He said they connected on Twitter a few years ago. Derrick saw Gerald's film, 'Bear City' where Gerald played an older guy getting with a younger one (Interesting)
Gerald said:
"Through the years I've encouraged him to lead an authentic life and tried my best to offer as much objective support as possible. It was a scary time for him and I tried my best to assure him that self-acceptance wasn't anything to be ashamed of and I strongly suggested he find a support team at UMass."Derrick came out after their conversations and they finally met in person last month. Once they saw each other, sparks flew.
"There is certainly a spark between Derrick and me. I'm very proud of him and think he's an engaging, courageous, and handsome young man."Now, to be very honest part 2, I'm seeing a whole different thing about this. I shouldn't judge, but it's... You know what... I'm just going to sip on some tea with this one.
Also on a side-note, Gerald just wrapped up production on 'Daddy', a film about a forty-something man who falls for a much younger guy.

UMass Basketball Player Derrick Gordon comes out as Gay
Starting sophomore basketball player at UMass Amherst, Derrick Gordon has come out as Gay. I think he's the first Division I NCAA basketball player to do this, which is fantastic!
The poor guy went through a lot of emotion hurtles, but eventually made it through. Watch the video about Derrick.
