Saints LB Scott Fujita Speaks Out in Support of Same-Sex Marriage

Regardless of your political leanings, we can all agree that it takes a certain amount of courage for an NFL player to speak out in support of gay rights. It’s no secret that athlete locker rooms are a place where homophobia thrives, especially when we’re talking about football.

↵So, kudos to Saints LB Scott Fujita for making these comments yesterday when asked about same-sex marriage:

↵↵“People could look at this issue without blinders on…the blinders imposed by their church, their parents, their friends or, in our case, their coaches and locker rooms. I wish they would realize that it’s not a religion issue. It’s not a government issue. It’s not even a gay/straight issue or a question of your manhood. It’s a human issue. And until more people see that, we’re stuck arguing with people who don’t have an argument.”
