Whenever something life altering happens in our lives – we usually face those moments with our loved ones. Our friends and our family are the people we rely on to share moments of grief, love, loss, excitement, success and failures with. They help us move forward in the tougher times and they keep us grounded in our successes.
Michael Sam has become the first openly gay man in the NFL in being drafted by the St. Louis Rams. Here is his reaction:
This special moment was tarnished by those individuals who view homosexuality as deviant, an abomination, against natural law and just plain wrong. Love is love. It takes a special kind of man to show this type of vulnerability to the world. Ignorance will always rear its ugly head and those who are against this type of love darken our world.
Michael Sam’s expression of his love for his partner is something I have been waiting to see for a lifetime. Media has always shown the gay community in a different light – and always during GAY PRIDE events around the world were many people are in ‘party mode’. The above video shows that we are just like everyone else – in a loving and supportive way.
For all of you who read this and are uncomfortable with this moment….you must look within and ask yourself “What is it about ME that is finding this loving moment uncomfortable?” After all, it is only LOVE and that is what makes our world go round.
