Out footballer Robbie Rogers is OUT magazine's cover story for August.
The LA Galaxy soccer player says he's completely changed his perspective, once professing that he wanted to be a footballer and not a spokesperson. OUT asks if he feels the same way now:
No, the exact opposite. I want to help people, especially kids who felt the same way I did; it makes me sick to remember the way I felt and to think that…they don't have a choice of who they are and they feel the same way I used to feel. Now I have this platform that hopefully I can use to reach people in a positive way. This is a learning process for me, but I don't want to give advice. I've just come to terms with myself, so who am I to be giving advice? I love to share my story with these kids and hang out with kids or people or grown men who are struggling, and I'm very happy that God's given me the courage to try to help in that way.
Rogers also confirms his status as a single man. You may also want to check out the letter he recently wrote to his 14-year-old self.
