Drop Dead Diva, the relaunched Lifetime hit television show, will be showing their support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community on tonight’s episode. In an exciting storyline, the cast will welcome Derek Smith, who is playing a gay professional baseball player. Josh Berman, the show’s openly gay producer, stated that this issue was vital for him to tackle because being a gay athlete is becoming a rising issue. “Sports is one of the last frontiers where men and women feel they unfortunately need to be closeted,” he explains.
