"The story of Jason Collins is not just a story about being gay."

"It’s a story about how, to some degree, each and every one of us is scared to be ourself at work. Each of us has something we are scared to own about ourselves because we are scared people won’t like us. We’re scared the top people in our field won’t respect or like us. We each hide something that we think is particularly bad. And we all think, 'Other people might not need to hide this, but for me, it’s different.'"
