OSU athlete comes out to his team on MTV special

In honor of National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11, MTV aired a one-hour special called Coming Out, which ”weaves together the personal journeys of Rachael, a 21 year-old lesbian living in Sacramento, CA, coming out to her estranged father; and Nevin, a 20 year-old African American collegiate all star athlete in Ohio, coming out to his college rugby team.”

Nevin is a member of the Ohio State rugby team.  The documentary captures the fear, anxiety and relief that goes along with coming out, following Nevin to a team meeting where he opens up.  Watch the video to see how things turn out for him.
