I also think it’s really important that he came out in an industry (sports) that is so connected to masculinity in our culture. It challenges normative assumptions of what LGBTQ looks like, and is another aspect of “diversity” in LGBTQ identities.

Thanks for this. I am the publisher of The Good Men Project, and at least partly the catalyst for this conversation. We in no way condone rape — and it’s horrible that we would even need to make that clear. But we do think there is a need to talk about consent in a multitude of ways. There is a need to talk about sexual assault in a multitude of ways. And there is a clear need to talk about what drinking does to consent and sexual relationships in a multitude of ways — especially on college campuses, where both men and women are starting to have these conversations. We’re very grateful the conversation has started — and has started with people who don’t usually talk about rape, people who don’t usually talk about consent on a societal level. That was the whole point.

It goes to show that how we say things is as important as what we say. And it is not just words, the question of consent brings up the problem with a lack I words and the importance of communication. If you are afraid of “no”, maybe you already know the answer. Informed consent and a partner who wants to be with you is critical and the consequences are too large to not handle the complex and often awkward conversations.
