Associated Press via New York Times; Brewers Minor Leaguer Says He's Gay; MLB Lauds His Courage:

""It's a very courageous move on his part to be the first one, the first active player to make this announcement," Milwaukee star outfielder Ryan Braun said Sunday. "Hopefully, everybody is at a point where we can just be supportive, not just understanding, but accepting and supportive of him and his situation."

In June, pitcher Sean Conroy of the Sonoma Stompers of the independent Pacific Association revealed he is gay. The Pacific Association is not affiliated with MLB. Denson's coming out follows similar disclosures of late across sports: Michael Sam (NFL draftee); Jason Collins (NBA); Derrick Gordon and Edward Sarafin (NCAA basketball, football) and Dale Scott (major league umpire)."
