2014 Draft Prospect Michael Sam Owns His Truth
Former college football player of the Missouri Tigers Michael Alan Sam, comes out large, in charge, and unfettered.
Reading articles on Sams' past although not entirely detailed still gives you an understanding of his struggles, yet he doesn't use the strife of his obstacles to hold him back -- he uses it as a propellant.
It is indeed admirable and unselfish of this young man to stand in a line of fire, as to not make a spectacle of himself and his future teammates -- which is why he decided to come out before the NFL draft season. He thought it best to let all the hoopla take place now so that it can die down later.
The youngest of eight children, Sam told the Times "I want to own my truth."
And he does just that as he stated at a Los Angeles dinner party, when asked if he were nervous about the step he is taking to which he said "You all are the ones who are nervous. I'm excited."
Kudos to Michael Sam for being authentically who he is, by "owning his truth."
Side note: The NBA's first openly gay player Jason Collins, recently signed with the Brooklyn Nets.

ACLU Sues Utah for Ignoring Gay Marriages
After a federal judge in Utah overturned the state's same-sex marriage ban on December 20th -- deeming it unconstitutional as it violates gay and lesbian couples' rights, the U.S. Supreme court decided to grant Utah an emergency stay that not only halted same-sex marriages but cut off the benefits of all married couples.
As a result of this devastating action, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has proceeded in suing the state of Utah, in hopes of having full benefits restored for couples while the issuing of marriage licenses' takes a back burner -- but hopefully not for long.

New Jersey 14th State to Legalize Same-sex Marriage
Yesterday, the legalization of same-sex marriage in the state of New Jersey has become reality!
The Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie fought vehemently to delay the process from moving forward, but the highest court in the state had the last say and recognized same-sex marriage as constitutional under the law. This makes New Jersey the 14th state to legalize same-sex marriage.

A spokesman for Christie said that he will comply with the ruling, though he doesn't like it.
In the end this was indeed the most lawful thing to do. Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker who's headed to the U.S. Senate after winning a special election to fill the seat of the late Frank. R. Lautenberg, is only the 4th African American to EVER be elected to the U.S. Senate and will marry his first same-sex couple on Monday at 12:01am.
With liberty and justice for all. #JerseyPride
