At the conclusion of his press conference Tuesday, President Barack Obama reiterated his support for gay NBA player Jason Collins, who came out Monday in a story for Sports Illustrated.
“I had a chance to talk to him yesterday,” Obama said, confirming Collins’ own account of a phone call between the two. “He seems like a terrific young man and I told him I couldn’t be prouder of him.”
Collins’ announcement made him the first athlete in one of the country’s most profitable sports leagues to come out while still competing. The president referenced the impending free agent center’s active status, saying Collins demonstrated that he was proud of his identity while still being “7 foot tall and [being able to] bang with” — basketball slang for jostling for position near the basket against other post players — a player like Shaquille O’Neal.
O’Neal, who retired in 2011, expressed his support for Collins on Twitter, writing that he was proud of him “for showing all of us what leadership looks like.”
“For a lot of young people out there who are gay or lesbian who are struggling with these issues to see a role model like that who’s not afraid, I think that’s a great thing,” Obama said. “And I think America should be proud that this is just one more step in this ongoing recognition that we treat everybody fairly.”
Collins told ABC News host George Stephanopoulos that Obama called him shortly after he made the announcement.
“It’s incredible. You just try to live an honest, genuine life and next thing you know you have the president calling you,” Collins said in the interview, which aired Tuesday on Good Morning America, adding that Obama “was incredibly supportive and he was proud of me. And said that this not only affected my life, but others going forward.”
Watch Obama’s comments regarding Collins, in video posted by Think Progress on Tuesday, below.

A 42-year-old Hampshire man received an out-of-court settlement from the U.K. discount chain 99p Stores after suffering chemical burns to his penis and testicles from using a cheap brand of shower gel. According to The Telegraph , Raymond Cuss of Gosport, Hampshire was left in agony after the liquid soap burned away the top layer of skin from his genitals.
“I had a shower to freshen up when I got home from work and suffered an horrendous reaction,” Cuss said. “When I stepped out of the shower and looked down at my groin I could see I had been burned.”
The flesh of the area glowed bright, angry red and was profoundly irritated, he said, beginning weeks of painful recovery. As the area scabbed and slowly healed, the sensation of fabric on the irritated area was almost more, Cuss said, than he could bear.
“I was horrified and scared I may have suffered permanent damage,” he said. “As the area dried, I was left in incredible pain, with a burning sensation. I had trouble sleeping, and could not lie on my front because it was far too painful.”
Because he is self-employed, Cuss had no choice but to keep working and “battle through the pain.”
“I had tears in my eyes when pulling on my boxer shorts,” he said, “and if any material simply brushed the area I almost doubled over in pain. I grimaced with every move.”
99p Stores refused to admit liability, claiming that chemicals from Cuss’ work may have interacted with the Dettol-branded shower gel to cause the burns. After a lengthy legal battle, the firm agreed to pay Cuss £1,000 (about $1,600 USD) before the case could go to court.
A spokesperson for Reckitt Benckiser, the company that makes Dettol products in the U.K., said that the shower gel was not British in origin. “A review of the product packaging identified it as most likely a product originally made for the Korean market and imported as a grey market product.”

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate predictive and prognostic significance of microtubule-associated protein Tau in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients treated with paclitaxel and platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: 74 patients with EOC (stage I-IV) who underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by standard paclitaxel/platinum chemotherapy were included in the retrospective analysis. Their formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were immunohistochemically stained for Tau protein, using semi-quantitative DAKO test. Tau expression was acknowledged as negative (0 and 1+) or positive (2+ and 3+). The correlation between Tau expression, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated. Statistical analysis included Kaplan-Meyer estimator, long rank test, Mann Whitney test and Cox proportional hazards model. Results: 25.7% (19/74) and 74.3% (55/74) of the patients were classified as Tau-negative and Tau-positive, respectively. Median PFS was 28.7 months for Tau-negative group and 15.9 months for Tau-positive group (p=0.0355). In the univariate analysis 3-year OS in Tau-negative and Tau-positive groups was 80.2% and 52.4%, respectively (p = 0.0198). Low expression of protein Tau was associated with better OS, whereas an advanced stage at diagnosis, suboptimal surgery, serous histological type and resistance to first line chemotherapy were each correlated with worse OS (p<0,05). In multivariate analysis only resistance to first line chemotherapy remained significant (HR 22.59; 95%CI, 8.71-58.55; p <0.0001). Conclusions: Negative tau protein seems to be both good prognostic factor and a predictor of response to paclitaxel/platinum-based chemotherapy in EOC patients.
