WATCH: Jason Collins Tells Oprah About Coming Out To His Parents

Of course, Oprah shoots and scores the first interview with NBA’s Jason Collins since he came out earlier this week.

During Oprah’s Next Chapter (airing May 5 on OWN) Collins reveals how he struggled with his sexuality and hid his truth from even his twin brother and their parents, Portia and Paul Collins. His parents tell Winfrey about how they adapted their dreams for Jason  after he told them he was gay —including the person with whom he’d eventually marry.
