In the wake of NBA player Jason Collins coming out, Oprah Winfrey is sitting down with the athlete and his family to discuss his revelation. During the 90-minute interview airing this Sunday on Oprah's Next Chapter on Own, Jason's parents share the reaction they had upon learning their son was gay. "So was there a releasing of the dream for you, of the idea that you'd had for your son, of who he would be walking down the aisle with?" Oprah asked. "Yes, yes it was," says Jason's father, Paul Collins. "I think any parent would have that for a child. Especially since you didn't know the child was gay. You know, you have these things: he'll eventually get married,...

Oprah Winfrey will sit down with Jason Collins and his family for their first interview together since the NBA center came out as gay in Sports Illustrated's May 6 issue.
Collins and his twin brother, Jarron Collins, also an NBA player, will be joined by their parents, Portia and Paul Collins, as well as Jason's sister-in-law and his aunt, Teri Jackson. In his piece for Si, Collins describes coming out to Jackson, a San Francisco Superior Court judge, before any other member of his family.
"Her reaction surprised me," Collins writes. "'I've known you were gay for years,' she said. From that moment on I was comfortable in my own skin. In her presence I ignored my censor button for the first time. She gave me support. The relief I felt was a sweet release."
Collins is the first openly gay athlete in a major American professional sport.

Of all the classic animated films, Peter Pan may be the one that has spread its influence furthest. From James Kirk’s reference to the second star on the right to Michael Jackson’s compound being called Neverland, the enduring story of the boy who didn’t want to grow up resonates with us all. Walt Disney has shined its latest crown jewel to a brilliant luster in the Diamond Edition release of Peter Pan, a combo pack featuring Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital copy (along with a Storybook app for tablets). Said to be one of Disney’s favorite stories, he intended it to be among his earliest releases but circumstances delayed it from being completed until its 1953 release. As a result, some of the lush rotoscoping we saw in Snow White is replaced with complete hand-drawn animation, but it also means some of the figures, from Smee to the...

Wendy tells the boys of the Peter Pan and his magical adventures in Neverland. One evening when their parents are going to a party, Peter Pan (Bobby Driscoll) actually does fly into their nursery. He.s lost his shadow to...
