Chris Kluwe : Stand Up & Kick Ass

On September 7, 2012, 30-year-old Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe wrote an open letter to Maryland state delegate Emmett C. Burns Jr., who told the Baltimore Ravens to “order” their linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo to stop advocating for marriage equality.

It didn't take long for the letter to go viral and make Chris Kluwe the unlikely face of Marriage Equality.

From the new November issue of Out Magazine:

On taking a stand for gay rights: “It’s all about the Golden Rule. Treat other people as you want to be treated. It’s that simple. It’s something that needs to be spoken about, and it’s something I can do while fulfilling my job as a football player.”
