T.J. House, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, announced on Facebook last Thursday that he is gay and engaged to Ryan Neitzel. In the 2014-2017 seasons, House pitched for the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays. Billy Bean played for the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Diego Padres in the 1990s, while Glenn Burke played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland Athletics in the 1980s.

The former MLB player shared on his social media that he has been loved his entire life for what he has done as a career, but that eventually becomes a bandage covering wounds that need fresh air to heal. The love of my life has freed me from all my shame, which held me captive for so many years, but I cannot stop myself from ripping it off at some point.

The Respect for Marriage Act, which passed that same day, also featured in his post, saying that it gives Ryan Neitzel and me a chance to create something special together. As a result, I am more confident about getting married to the person I love (he said yes!). As House writes, he is healing from years of keeping his sexuality a secret. "I'm finally healing, and days like today, work to keep me growing into the person I've been all along, one I've kept hidden for more than 20 years," he says.
