Nelson Mandela “ I am not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being. Jackie Robinson “ Having different people come together and be on a team and win a world championship is literally, I think, the definition of being American. Abby Wambach “ I was certain that my world would fall apart if anyone knew. And yet when I acknowledged my sexuality I felt whole for the first time. Jason Collins “ Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody. Billie Jean King “ I think when you hear homophobic chants or slurs in stadiums, the people behind that aren't always homophobic but just part of a culture that is all about the ‘pack’.
