Athlete comes out


That's something that you don't hear very often. It's a weird story. First, he comes out. Second, check out an excerpt from this article.

The GopherHole asks how his former girlfriend reacted to the news:

GH: How did she react when you told her? Was she surprised?
ZP: I had shared some feelings with her, but yeah, she was shocked. She was very understanding. For the record, I’m not gay, I am who I am.

GH: Does that mean that you are interested in dating men or women?
ZP: Women.

GH: I'm a little confused, how is that coming out if you still want to date women?
ZP: I had to find out exactly where I stood with my own sexuality, and so I did.

GH: So...you experimented and realized you did want to be with women?
ZP: I’m at a point that if I met someone and loved them, I wouldn't let their gender get in the way, and I don’t think anyone should.

Confusing, isn't it. Looks like he wasn't ready to come out of that smelly, sweaty closet. I think coming out is personal and selfish. Selfish because it's more for you than anyone else and personal because it's something that you do when you're ready. I hope Zach wasn't pressured. I wish him all the best.

I'm sorry Kevin but what sort of dumb-ass excuse is it to come out and tell the whole world that you're straight? Huh?

So is he saying that because he got dumped? Which Closet is he from again?

Bizarre!!

Yes, very bizarre!

BUT, he's on a journey. A strange confusing one, but his own no matter what.
