Hell of a story.

Very happy for the kid, and hope we see him in a Brewers jersey in a couple years.

Glad it was someone from the Brewers organization. I hope they continue to handle it with compassion and professionalism. Good work Denson. Now play some ball.

Impressive to see how quickly the world changes. Good support from the team.

Good for him, and I'm glad his teammates and the organization are standing by him.

This is precisely why Jason Collins' pioneering decision to come out while he was still an active player was so incredibly important - it paved the way for guys like Michael Sam and now David Denson to feel like they could come out and not face the intense scrutiny that they could have expected only a few years ago. It's a wonderful thing.

Totally. Robbie Rogers, too. Obviously soccer is not as big of a deal as the 'big 3,' but I think it was an important moment.
