This is nothing short of amazing – Sam gets picked in the draft, and then the whole world sees an NFL player kiss his boyfriend on TV
Queerty reports:
College football star Michael Sam became the first openly gay athlete to be drafted by a professional sports team today, when the St. Louis Rams selected him number 249 in the 7th round of the National Football League draft. Sam, a defensive lineman, joins basketball player Jason Collins–who played with the National Basketball Association’s Brooklyn Nets with great success this season-in reaching a historic pro sports milestone this year. Sam shared tears of joy-and several beautiful kisses-with his boyfriend upon the learning of the news via a phone call from the Rams while at home with family and friends. It’s really a new world out there.
