  When Stars Came to Visit: The Lecture Circuit and Famous Gay, Lesbian, Transsexual People Make the Rounds to Iowa ...
David Halterman and I went to hear the speech; David confided to me he thought this ex jock was good looking and I do believe he had a crush from afar on the guy.
David and I managed, somehow, probably by (un)luck or karma, to be sitting at the table where David Kopay and his host party sat down.
David and I went to Christine's reception in the Union after the lecture (what kind of event would it be without a reception, anyway?) and she told us, quite seriously, that lots of gay men and women were organizing into political groups on various campuses across the country.

 Dave Kopay Profile -- Outsports.com
Kopay, whose 1977 coming-out autobiography “The David Kopay Story” was a New York Times bestseller and is in its fifth printing, can wax forcefully on a variety of topics, with anger, empathy, bluntness and humor.
Kopay was heartened by the generally favorable coverage this spring over rumors of Mike Piazza’s sexuality as one sign of progress.
Kopay is single and laments that his image “got in the way of my romantic life.” Once he fully recovers from his hip surgery, which requires him to use crutches, Kopay looks forward to golfing and just walking along the beach.

 06/14/01 TWN-Sports Watch: David Kopay tackles life head on   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It’s hard for Kopay to pinpoint the moment when he really knew he was gay: Maybe a couple of years into his football career; or maybe not even until he was traded back to Detroit in 1968, he says.
Kopay says several players in Detroit suspected he was gay, because he wasn’t out "chasing all the broads," and it created an uncomfortable atmosphere because they looked at him differently.
When Kopay reflects back to the time when his sexual orientation was still hidden and he was a professional athlete, he finds that, in some ways, he remembers his personal struggles more fondly than the successes on the field.

 David Kopay Is Not Slowing Down -- Outsports.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Sportswriters called Kopay “impressive.” He was co-captain of a University of Washington Rose Bowl team in college, later a dedicated professional who deeply loved the game and stayed in it for a decade (the average NFL career is five years or so).
Kopay was something of a Concrete Charlie himself – when he hit you, you stayed down for a while.
Kopay tells the story of NFL trainer Lindsy McLean, who worked with the 49ers from 1979 on and made little secret of his orientation – he brought his longtime partner to a team Christmas party.

David Kopay has been involved in a variety of business ventures since his decision to leave professional football.
I'm proud that David is a fellow Husky; his name adds honour to the reputation of the University of Washington, both as a hard-nosed athlete who hit like a freight train and as a man of courage.
Kopay's autobiography (it's not "a novel," as the review before mine says) busts all sorts of stereotypes, but his story is really quite similar to those of many gay men who have never fit the stereotypes in the first place.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The David Kopay Story: An Extraordinary Self-Revelation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This is David Kopay's account of growing up gay back when there were very few books or support groups to turn to, which makes it stand even taller.
Inevitably somewhat dated, this book (first published in 1977, but revised a bit since) is nonetheless still on the short list of must-reads for both gay people and for heterosexuals who want to know more about gay people and what we go through.
Kopay was so ahead of his time that I don't think any professional football player has come out since him (Jerry Smith, who died of AIDS, is described in the book, and was a buddy of Kopay's, never really came out).

 The David Kopay Story by David Kopay Detailed Book Review
Professional running back David Kopay came out of the closet at the end of 1975.
His announcement that he was gay and his suggestion that there were a good number of other gay players in professional football caused quite a stir at the time.
Still he felt the need to make it public, and to crusade for honesty about sexuality.
