RG3: Now Is the Time for a Gay NFL Player to Come Out

Washington Redskins star quarterback Robert Griffin III, or RG3, says now is the time for a gay player to come out in professional football.

"I think there are [gay players] right now, and if they're looking for a window to just come out, I mean, now is the window," he said in an interview with GQ. "My view on it is, yes, I am a Christian, but to each his own. You do what you want to do. If some Christians want to look at being gay as a sin, then thinking about other women, committing adultery -- or any of those sins that are in the Bible -- those are sins too. And God looks at all of us the same way."

Griffin, 23, is returning for his second season in the NFL after experiencing a devastating knee injury at the end of the last season in a game with the Seattle Seahawks.

This Monday the Redskins will face the Pittsburgh Steelers for the team's second preseason game.
