‘80 FOR BRADY’ CUT OUT G KENWORTHY’S GAY KISS SCENE (EXCLUSIVE)

The Greatt Of All Time has, over his storied reer, been absolutely silent about his thoughts on basic human rights like marriage equaly, or even his willgns to accept a gay or bi teammate (while actually havg two who have e out). Yet dog a basic search for Brady’s thoughts on our muny’s issu — and talkg to two gay men who have teracted wh Brady durg their reers — ’s clear he has ma a nsc cisn to not discs LGBTQ rights, or even mentn gay people or sexual orientatn.

Conversely, Brady has not — as far as I uld fd — talked publicly about his acceptance of his actual out gay teammate, Carl Nassib. And most sports reporters don’t want to ask the startg quarterback of an NFL anchise about gay issu. In 2002, the Patrts participated the annual Gay Bowl, the world’s LGBTQ flag football champnship, sendg legend Andre Tippett to mgle wh the gay men assembled om across the Uned Stat.
