Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo supports marriage equality

From the Baltimore Sun:

"There is always something to fight for," Ayanbadejo said. "That's something I learned at a young age."

And he's not shy about articulating his thoughts about that, and on a variety of other subjects. Take his position on gay marriage, for example.

Homosexuality can be a prickly topic in a locker room, but that didn't stop Ayanbadejo, who has a daughter, Anaya Lee, from arguing in the Huffington Post: "If Britney Spears can party it up in Vegas with one of her boys and go get married on a whim and annul her marriage the next day, why can't a loving same-sex couple tie the knot? How could our society grant more rights to a heterosexual, one-night-stand wedding in Vegas than a gay couple that has been together for 3, 5, 10 years of true love?"
