I'd like to congratulate the individuals targeted by Margie Phelps of the WBC.
@brendon301 is Brendon Ayanbadejo, a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. He has been a very vocal Marriage Equality advocate--especially in the recent Maryland ballot initiative. Ayanbadejo also likes to post shirtless pictures of himself which the gays definitely appreciate.
@scottfujita99 is Scott Fujita, is a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. He has also been a very outspoken advocate for LGBT rights--especially marriage. Who knew linebacker would turn out to be the big pro-gay position in football?
@hudsonism is Hudson Taylor. Here's the funny thing, while Taylor is an athlete and an ally of the LGBT community--in fact he started an organization, Athlete Ally, which works to promote LGBT inclusion and support in sports. However, he is not a football player. He is a wrestler. Oh well, if the Westboro Baptist Church is so wrong about the bible which is supposed to be their area of expertise, they can hardly be expected to get sports facts right.
My biggest problem with the WBC attack on the NFL is that they excluded Chris Kluwe. He's on the Twitter @ChrisWarcraft. He plays professional football as a punter for the Minnesota Vikings. Most importantly, he's arguably the most visible advocate for Marriage Equality in the NFL. He wrote the famous "Lustful Cockmonster" letter. He's been on The Colbert Report and The Ellen Degeneres Show talking about how much he loves the gays. Kluwe did a podcast with Outsports, a website that mixes sports and homosexuality into one big sinful stew. He even posed shirtless
for Out Magazine.
What more does Kluwe have to do to be labelled a "nasty fag" by America's most hated hate group? He should sue them for the emotional distress their lack of hate for him must be causing.
