From Yahoo News:
In what some community leaders hail as progress against pro baseball’s anti-gay image, a pitcher who is open about his two lesbian mothers has reported that they are a non-issue among his teammates.
“I haven’t heard much,” Cincinnati Reds pitcher Joe Valentine told the Chicago Tribune. “I thought it was going to be a little bit bigger deal, but I wasn’t doing it because I wanted it to be a big deal. It was something I tried to do for my parents and for the gay community. They’re a huge part of the population.”
Valentine told Newsday reporter Jeff Pearlman about his biological mother Deb Valentine, and his other mother, Doreen Price, who raised him since his birth in Las Vegas in 1979. The couple has been together for 30 years.
