First lady Michelle Obama’s guests for the State of the Union address will include former NBA player Jason Collins and two survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing, the White House announced Monday.

Others joining the first lady for Tuesday night’s speech in the House chamber include the District of Columbia’s 2013 teacher of the year and the fire chief of tornado-ravaged Moore, Okla., as well as a teenager who brought a marshmallow-shooting air cannon to the 2012 White House Science Fair.

Collins, who spent 12 years years playing professional basketball, drew the praise of the president and first lady after coming out last year in a Sports Illustrated cover story. “He seems like a terrific young man, and I told him I couldn’t be prouder,” the president said soon after he spoke with Collins by phone. In May, the first lady and Collins co-hosted a major Democratic National Committee fundraiser for LGBT donors.
