Minnesota United midfielder Collin Martin became the only active openly gay man in American sports on Friday, coming out publicly with a message on Twitter and a very cool photo ahead of his team’s Pride Night game.

From the note:

“I have been out as a gay man for many years to my family and friends, and this includes my teammates. I have played Major League Soccer for 6 seasons: 4 seasons with DC United and 2 seasons with Minnesota United. Today, I’m proud that my entire team and the management of Minnesota United know that I am gay. I have received only kindness and acceptance from everyone in Major League Soccer and that has made the decision to come out publicly that much easier.”

While this is a cool story, he better hurry up if he wants to get married to another man.

Minnesota allowed gay marriage starting in 2013. I don’t see what would change that.

A Supreme Court, maybe.

State’s Rights Conservatives only give a shit about state’s rights when the state agrees with their position.

Youre painting with an awfully broad brush. I don’t know who said what to make you think that.

In the case of gay marriage, he is not far from the truth. How else do you explain the defense of marriage act? Anyone who truly cared about states rights and the 10th amendment would have to oppose the act. Yet was it or was it not supported by many conservatives?
