Chicago White Sox prospect comes out publicly as gay: ‘I wanna be an inspiration’

Chicago White Sox minor leaguer Anderson Comas publicly came out as gay in a message posted to his Instagram account Sunday.

Comas, 23, said he was “proudly and happily part of the LGTBQ+ community” in a message largely dedicated to “people like me” trying to chase their dreams.

“I’m also a human with a great soul,” Comas said in the post. “I’m respectful, I’m a lover, I love my family and friends and that’s what really matters, I enjoy my work a lot, being a professional baseball player is the best thing that happened to me so I just wanna say something to those people that says that gay people can not be someone in this life, well look at me I’m Gay and I’m a professional athlete so that didn’t stopped (sic) me to make my dreams come true.

“I’m doing this cause I wanna be an inspiration for those like me out there fitting for their dreams, please don’t listen to those stupid things that people say about us, fight for your dreams, believe in yourself and go for it.”
