Timeline
Esera Tavai Tuaolo (born July 11, 1968), nicknamed "Mr. Aloha", is a former American professional football player.
He was a defensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for nine years.
He played college football at Oregon State University and was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
He won the Morris Trophy in 1989, which is given to the best defensive lineman in the Pac-10.
He was named Pac-10 Conference First-team twice and as a senior he was a finalist for the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy.
Tuaolo then had a successful career as a nose tackle in the NFL for nine seasons, playing for five NFL teams.
The Green Bay Packers drafted him in the 1991 NFL Draft in the second round as the 35th overall pick.
He played 20 games for the Green Bay Packers from 1991 to 1992, was the first rookie in Packer history to start all 16 games in a season, and was a member of the 1991 all-rookie team.
Tuaolo then played 60 games for the Minnesota Vikings from 1992 to 1996; 6 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1997; 13 games for the Atlanta Falcons in 1998; and 12 games for the Carolina Panthers in 1999.
Tuaolo met his partner, Mitchell Wherley, at a nightclub in 1995, and the couple hid their relationship from the public.
Between Tuaolo's retirement from the NFL and coming out as gay, he and Wherley adopted twin infants.
In his 9 year career he recorded 200 tackles, 12 sacks, and 1 interception, and, in 1998, won the NFC Championship with the Atlanta Falcons before losing in the Super Bowl to the Denver Broncos.
During that Super Bowl XXXIII, Tuaolo recorded the last tackle of football legend John Elway.
Tuaolo has entertained a singing career during and after football.
While with the Packers, for example, Tuaolo once sang the National Anthem in full pads before a game against the Chicago Bears, and then immediately after started in that game.
He has since sung the anthem at professional sporting events, from NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA games to the opening ceremony of the Gay Games VII, a quadrennial Olympics-style event.
He has also released his own music, such as "Stronger" and "Another Broken Heart" the latter with Lari White, and has performed at various venues and events in the United States and Europe.
In 2002, having retired from sports in 1999, Tuaolo announced to the public that he is gay, coming out on HBO's Real Sports.
Another NFL player, Garrison Hearst, made anti-gay comments when he heard the news, but he later apologized.
Tuaolo's autobiography, Alone in the Trenches: My Life As a Gay Man in the NFL, was released in spring 2006.
It details Tuaolo's upbringing, and sheds light on how his experiences with poverty, sexuality, and football shaped him.
Tuaolo and Wherley's relationship ended in 2007.
Since coming out, Tuaolo has been a strong advocate for the LGBT community.
He has worked with the NFL to combat homophobia in the league and is a board member of the Gay and Lesbian Athletics Foundation.

He makes and has made appearances on various television programs, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tyra Banks Show, Good Morning America and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, to talk about and combat homophobia.
