Baltimore Ravens Linebacker Plans to Use Super Bowl to Promote Same-Sex Marriage



By Noel Sheppard | January 25, 2013

Can the Super Bowl be a platform for same-sex marriage?

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo hopes so, and dreams of celebrating a victory in New Orleans two Sundays from now by dancing with Ellen Degeneres.

According to New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, Ayanbadejo awoke early Monday morning after his team's surprise victory over the New England Patriots to write an email message to "Brian Ellner, a leading marriage-equality advocate with whom he had worked before, and Michael Skolnik, the political director for Russell Simmons, a hip-hop mogul who has become involved in many issues, including same-sex marriage."

“Is there anything I can do for marriage equality or anti- bullying over the next couple of weeks to harness this Super Bowl media?” he wrote. The time was 3:40 AM.

“It’s one of those times when you’re really passionate and in your zone,” Ayanbadejo told Bruni. "And I got to thinking about all kinds of things, and I thought: how can we get our message out there?”

According to Bruni, Ayanbadejo’s support for gay rights comes from childhood connections to a diverse group that included many that were openly gay or lesbian. He once lived in an LGBT dorm at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where his stepfather was the resident director.

“I was raised around gay people in a very liberal society,” Ayanbadejo told Bruni during an interview in September. “Discrimination was never allowed.”

Of course, as Ayanbadejo told Bruni, not all of his teammates support same-sex marriage. Last October, Ravens center Matt Birk made a statement in support of traditional marriage in Minnesota.

Bruni, who himself is openly gay, neglected to share that with his readers.

Moving forward, Ayanbadejo is talking to gay-rights advocates about how to "seize this moment" of his appearance in the Super Bowl.

"He’s been swapping emails with Hudson Taylor, the founder and executive director of Athlete Ally, a group dedicated to ridding sports at all levels—high school, college, professional—of homophobia," Bruni wrote.

“He’s so excited and ready to take a stand in whatever way he can,” Taylor told Bruni. “He is leveraging the biggest sports stage in the world.”

A man's got to have a dream I guess.

So will this Super Bowl become a stage to advance same-sex marriage?

Stay tuned.

I am dreading the "wisdom" of the CBS chattering heads that are going to bring this bullshit up (and you know they will) over and over again.

No idea, but I'm sure that Costas fruit bat will be there to give us his Minute of Wisdom during halftime.  Maybe he can lip-sync something interesting instead of his usual bullshit.
