deestillballin Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 WASHINGTON -- Denver Nuggets star Kenneth Faried has become the first NBA player to join an organization devoted to fighting homophobia in sports, and said he hopes his involvement will raise awareness of gay rights in professional basketball.Equal rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community is close to the heart of Faried, nicknamed the "Manimal" for his fierceness on the court. The 23-year-old forward was raised in New Jersey by two mothers, who married in 2007. Faried recently appeared with his mothers in a video for the advocacy group OneColorado, to encourage Colorado to legalize civil unions. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/12/kenneth-faried-gay-rights_n_2665920.html Wow raised by 2 mothers and he turned out fine.

Lkr Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 When I read the story the other day, for some reason it felt like I had heard that his mothers were gay somewhere. I'm wondering if they showed them at a game or something last year now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
