Former NBA Player Reveals He's Gay

Whatever. Nothing earthshaking, as far as I'm concerned. Though based on his playing career, he'll probably receive far more notice now that he's come out.

John Amaechi, the former NBA player and England basketball international, is to publish a book next week in which he will reveal he is gay.

The autobiography, entitled Man in the Middle, will detail his six seasons in the world's leading basketball league and its release is being eagerly awaited in the United States.
