I think the sacrifice would be worth it. Now, I would hope that I would get the chance to play football again, because I think I can still play. But if it ends up being something that costs me that position, I think making people aware of an issue that is causing children to commit suicide is more important than kicking a leather ball.

Chris Kluwe, on the prospect of finding another team after being cut by the Vikings this morning, possibly in part because of his outspokenness. I hope more players will follow his example, even when not as well spoken.

“First Pro Athlete Says He’s Gay” Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure women play pro sports as well. Leave it to our media companies to sensationalize a truly great moment in sports history and celebrating one group of people, while simultaneously marginalizing another. And all they needed was one additional word in their headline. It’s not just ESPN/ABC either. Most articles I have seen or read make little or no mention of the many brave women athletes that have come out before this. For reference, a quick Google search gives us five pro women athletes that came out long before Jason Collins.

Another Republican Changes Their Mind On Gay Marriage

We shouldn’t be patting Rob Portman on the back, instead, we should be berating him for why it took this long.

Do you notice a trend here? This story does not make me happy, on the contrary it almost pisses me off more. I just see this as another Republican saying, “Oh, I can’t be a dick about this issue anymore because now it personally affects me.” And this is always the case with anti progressive people. They can’t see the bigger picture until it directly involves them, be it gay marriage, gun rights, a woman’s right to choose, etc. Get with the god damn program, this is getting tiring.
