Jason Collins took the stage at the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Monday, and he voiced his support for Hillary Clinton. Collins, who became the first openly gay active male athlete in a major American sports league in 2013, has known the Clinton family since he was Chelsea Clinton's classmate at Stanford. After Golden State Warriors assistant coach Jarron Collins introduced him as "my less handsome twin brother," he spoke about how the Clinton family was there for him.
