Steve Buckley, known sportswriter for the Boston Herald for a long time now, uncovered in his column published Thursday a secret: he is gay.

He revealed that he is gay in the article entitled “Welcome to my coming-out party”. Since his mother had made a suggestion on revealing his secret, it took seven years for Buckley to consider it.

Buckley finds it unfair, not just for himself but for everyone around him, to be on the sidelines of the gay community in Boston without being in the game – “figuratively and literally”.

“It’s my hope that from now on I’ll be more involved,” Buckley mentioned in reference to tragic events that he had faced. “I’m not really sure what I mean by being ‘involved,’ but this is a start: I’m gay.”
