Another NFL Player Comes Out for Gay Marriage

New Orleans Saint Scott Fujita has come out publicly in full support of same-sex marriage. On Tuesday, the NFL linebacker reacted to Brendan Ayanbadejo’s column in support of same-sex marriage and saying in a couple decades it won’t be an issue anymore: "I hope he’s right in his prediction, and I hope even more that it doesn’t take that long. People could look at this issue without blinders on…the blinders imposed by their church, their parents, their friends or, in our case, their coaches and locker rooms…. I wish they would realize that it’s not a religion issue. It’s not a government issue. It’s not even a gay/straight issue or a question of your manhood. It’s a human issue. And until more people see that, we’re stuck arguing with people who don’t have an argument." One NFL player supporting same-sex marriage is an anomoly; Two is quite nearly an epidemic. It’s surprising but fantastic to see these guys take such strong, positive positions on a controversial subject that they could easily back away from.

Baltimore Football Player Brendon Ayanbajedo Supports Gay Marriage

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo is emerging as a supporter of same-sex marriage. Ayanbadejo attended an event sponsored by Equality Maryland last week to celebrate the relocation of its headquarters from Silver Spring to Baltimore. The appearance came after he opined in the Huffington Post that “we will look back in 10, 20, 30 years and be amazed that gays and lesbians did not have the same rights as everyone else.” “If Britney Spears can party it up in Vegas with one of her boys and go get married on a whim and annul her marriage the next day, why can’t a loving same-sex couple tie the knot?” he wrote in the piece.
