Michael Sam is now literally a hero. The rookie defensive end for the St. Louis Rams, who is gay, has inspired a former pro athlete to come out of the closet. Brad Thorson, who attended training camp in 2011 with the Arizona Cardinals, announced on Independence Day that he was gay. He says the highly controversial kiss Michael Sam shared with his boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, encouraged him to face his sexuality openly and honestly. He also credits NBA star Jason Collins, as well as Pennsylvania Congressman Brian K. Sims for inspiring him.
