Closeted throughout his professional basketball career, John Amaechi is the first Image appears under the player from the National Basketball Association to acknowledge that he is gay. Since CC by 2.0 license. coming out, he has become an eloquent spokesman for glbtq rights. Amaechi's parents, Wendy Hall and Jon Amaechi, met in Scotland while Hall was a medical student at the University of Aberdeen. After earning her degree, Hall took a job at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston but left it to follow Amaechi to his native Nigeria, where he fought in support of his ethnic group, the Ibo, in the Biafran war while she served as a medic. When it became clear that the war was lost, the couple fled, enduring treacherous conditions before getting back to Boston, where they married. Amaechi's mother returned to the practice of medicine, and his father established a manufacturing business. John Ekwugha Amaechi, their first child and only son, was born November 26, 1970. Within two years the couple also had two daughters. The Amaechis' marriage was not a happy one. Jon Amaechi was, according to his son, "emotionally abusive to his wife" and also left her with "a mountain of debt" after signing over his business to her without her knowledge before going back to Nigeria. After a short while he returned, but the marriage was over. In 1974 Wendy Amaechi took her three children to her native England, and they all moved in with her parents in a suburb of Manchester.
