“Good Morning America” has landed an interview with Jason Collins, the NBA center who came out as gay on Monday. ABC said in a statement that the interview will air on Tuesday.
Collins came out in a Sports Illustrated op-ed, making him the first athlete in U.S. major league sports to do so. “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay,” he wrote in the piece.
“GMA” co-host George Stephanopoulos was soliciting questions on Monday afternoon on Twitter:
Jason Collins makes history. En route to LA for first interview.What should I ask?
