Stanford has been pretty groundbreaking on the gay athlete front...there was Jason Collins obviously, and then Kwame Harris. There have been football players at Stanford who weren't quite out, but nobody really needed to ask.

Stanford has come a long way from 1994, when a half dozen athletes vandalized the gay liberation statue.

I don't like to bring up negatives WRT Stanford and Stanford athletics, but even two decades later, my gay friends from Stanford are still horrified that this happened.  Some still refuse to root for the Stanford football team.
