American track star Trey Cunningham, who competed in last month’s U.S. Olympic Trials, has come out publicly as gay. In an interview with The New York Times, Cunningham said that coming out to his family in private five years ago was the “scariest thing I’ve ever done.” Now, he is coming out to the rest of the world. His reason for coming out publicly, he told the Times, came from a track training technique he uses. “We say our goals out loud,” he said.
” In a separate interview with Us Weekly, Cunningham said he eventually realized that “people just don’t care.” When asked if he thought coming out publicly will change anything, he said, “I’m just Trey, and apparently it’s a special thing that I like to kiss guys.” While Cunningham said he feels lucky to be surrounded by people who were unfazed by his coming out, he noted that may not be the case for other male athletes who have not felt as comfortable.
