Former MLB pitcher T.J. House, who played from 2013 to ’17 with Cleveland and the Blue Jays, announced his engagement to his boyfriend, Ryan Neitzel, on Thursday and came out as gay.
House came out as he addressed the Respect for Marriage Act that was passed by Congress this week.
“Today’s passage of the Respect for Marriage Act protects us to have the same rights and opportunities that each of you have,” House wrote on his personal Facebook page on Thursday.
“It protects the same benefits. It makes us equal to you. It allows Ryan Neitzel and I to come together and create something beautiful.
