Via pilight, Sheryl Swoopes spoke at Redlands yesterday about, among other things, coming out:

I strongly believe that God put me on this earth for the purpose of reaching out and touching as many people's lives as I can. What I've done hopefully will at least prevent one person from taking their life. I don't think it's changed me from being a role model. If anything, it's made me proud of who I am. I was tired of pretending to be someone I'm not, tired of making other people happy while I was still miserable.
