Coming Out: 50-Plus Gay Athletes Who Have Broken Boundaries
Michael Sam
American football is—as the name implies—a bonafide American tradition. So, it means a lot for all Americans (and the LGBTQ+ community in particular) that the Texas defensive end Michael Sam came out as gay in college and was drafted into the NFL.
Nevertheless, Sam continued to stay involved with American football and currently serves as a player/assistant defensive line coach for the Spanish side Barcelona Dragons. Before moving to Spain in 2022, Sam collaborated with LGBTQ+ rights groups and made a memorable appearance on “Dancing with the Stars.”
