Pro baseball player Anderson Comas celebrates his first Pride since coming out, says he’s never been happier
made a big announcement before he reported to Spring Training this year: he’s gay!Now, as Comas celebrates his first Pride Month as an out gay man, he’s reflecting on his journey.
In a recent Zoom call with reporters, the left-handed pitcher says he feels better than ever.“I just felt like now is the right time.
Now is when I feel good with myself. Now I accept myself,” he told reporters, including The Athletic’s James Fegan. “I love myself enough to tell people and feel great about it.
At first I was afraid to say it, for people to know about me. Now I feel strong enough to say it to people without caring what they say about me.”When Comas came out in February, he wrote on Instagram that he wants to prove gay people belong in baseball. “Disclaimer: if you’re homophobic this post is may not for you or [maybe] yes so you can see we all matters and we all are the same,” he wrote.
