First Take

Today we wanted to share with you the latest episode of LZ Granderson's new podcast, "Life Out Loud" -- a collection of conversations with some of the most influential and inspirational people in the LGBTQ+ community. On this week's episode, LZ leads a roundtable with Jason Collins, the first active player in the NBA to come out; Super Bowl winner and ally Keyshawn Johnson; and Rick Welts, the first out and proud NBA team president. They discuss their own personal stories and look at the ways LGBTQ issues play out in the world of professional sports. There are also some big laughs over what happens when you bring a straight ally like Keyshawn into a gay vacation spot or a PRIDE parade.
