Former MLB Pitcher TJ House
is introducing his true self to the world… coming out as gay and announcing his engagement to her boyfriend. The 33-year-old former Cleveland and Toronto southpaw posted a lengthy social media post… saying, “I’ve been fighting for myself all my life The skin feels comfortable and strives.”
“I deliberately keep my distance from people to protect myself. It’s frustrating how a simple thing can happen in seconds Change a person’s perception of you within minutes. It took me years to wake up in the morning and tell myself that you are loved because of you, and that is the love deep inside you that never really comes out.”
House said he was always adored for being a professional athlete…. .. but when he hides his identity, the admiration he receives covers a wound like a bandage.
“Deep inside I want more, I want to be loved not for what I do but for who I am .”
“Shame has silenced me all these years,” he added. “But love finally set me free.”
