PRIDE MONTH: Esera Tuaolo Is The Only Openly Gay NFL Football Player

What if you were known as the NFL player with the voice of an angel and your reputation for making the ladies swoon was rivaled only by your reputation for making big plays on the football field?  

Esera Tuaolo, proud Samoan, Hawaii native, Superbowl winner and contestant on The Voice, had everything that he’d ever dreamed of: A career playing the sport he loved, the ability to support his family and the respect of his peers and fans.  

But what would you do if you had a secret? One so devastating that it would not only derail the career that you loved, but could also put a bounty on your head? Would you redouble your efforts to keep your truth hidden? Or would you relieve yourself of your burden and tell your story to the world?
