NCAA Player Derrick Gordon Dating "CSI" Actor Gerald McCullouch

Derrick Gordon, who currently plays for the University of Massachusetts, became the first openly gay NCAA player after coming out last month. Gordon, who was impressed with McCullouch's film BearCity, reached out to the actor via Twitter.  The two met up and have since become romantically involved.

McCullouch had this to say about his new beau's coming out:

Through the years I've encouraged him to lead an authentic life and tried my best to offer as much objective support as possible ... It was a scary time for him and I tried my best to assure him that self-acceptance wasn't anything to be ashamed of and I strongly suggested he find a support team at UMass ... There is certainly a spark between Derrick and me. I'm very proud of him and think he's an engaging, courageous, and handsome young man.

McCullouch is currently working on directing his first film, titled Daddy.  The film, which he also stars in, is about (perhaps unsurprisingly) a man who falls in love with a much younger man.
