Great video guys! You will help a lot of people with this video. It takes courage to live a life being true to who you are. You are indeed showing gay people come in many different stripes. Good for you! The haters and bigots are feeble cowards. Haters are pathetic you are truth.

@Fightdog Amen there!

I love that there is a place in DC where I can play football with family as wonderful as these men and women. Life gets awesome.

Hating takes a lot of energy, it's time to let it go.

We are all created the same way.

We all breath the same air.

If you wonder who does what with who, ask yourself, why do I care?

Nothing you can do about it. It's neither hear nor there.

@BATABll No, actually a lot, so many gay people don't get aids because they're very safe. And no, that's silly persecution in the western world? Silly. No but If they do though, they have a right to know why and seek protection, and the protection they can seek is in Canada; the Canadian government or parts of the USA/UK. And people who accept themselves come out of depression and can finally move on to being successful and getting through this mad, mad world like anyone else! Wow I know right.

If these stupid fucks weren't so closed about other people's interest and where they find love, who they find love in, these young boys and girls wouldn't go through this purgatory. They're literally suffering because of what heterosexual people think how people should go about finding love. That's so rude of them. They're going through all that for nothing. They think it's wrong because it's embedded into society and they think if their gay they won't get anywhere, when that's so untrue!

THIS IS SO COOL .. I'm sitting here in South Africa and happen upon a video with my buddy Brian Sparrow in it!! I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm going to post your video on my blog and facebook and YouTube channel. Keep shattering the stereotypes guys and steal the thunder from all the gap-toothed, brain-dead hate mongers!

@martinezkiller1 Then don't play a sport with the same sex man. That's even gayer.

for all those don't like, why don't you remember that classic, age-old saying that all of your parents should of branded into your minds. "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." It also applies to actions. Thank you
