"I freed myself from a question that had lingered in my mind for years, freed myself from the internal scrutiny that was becoming nearly impossible to bear, and lastly freed myself from the fear of living."Former Golden Gopher basketball star, Zach Puchtel, talks about coming out as a bi-sexual and how it impacted his life and those around him. Being one of only two division-one athletes to ever come out publicly, it is really interesting insight into being a star athlete and dealing publicly with your own sexuality.
Not only has he been a remarkable role model as an athlete, but this will certainly help others be more comfortable in coming to terms with their own sexuality.
"This goes way beyond sexuality, this is about being human."
Kudos to Zach for this candid, honest, articulate and open discussion.
