THIS IS BULLSHIZZ!

Chris Kluwe is one of the most high-profile athlete supporters of the LGBT community, and it looks like he's being replaced by a 5th round pick as kicker on the Minnesota Vikings because of it! UGH!

He was part of that team for EIGHT YEARS, and we agree with him that it has something to do with his work for equality — even as a straight married man with kids! He was most recently fighting legislation in Minnesota that would have banned same-sex marriage when he gained a bunch of notoriety for a profanity-lace letter he wrote to Maryland Assembly Delegate Emmett C. Burns that went viral.

Here's what he said about his cut and the bullshizz that it means:

Chris Kluwe, who we've talked about around these parts before, seemingly is constantly defending his stance in favor of gay rights. He supports it, because he KNOWS there are gay players out there, and that they would benefit from a better environment!

He was even on the Colbert Report, when this happened:

SC: “Football players are a thousand miles from gay.”

Kluwe responed: “Um, you’d be surprised.”

And guess what? He isn't the only one who knows that.

If it takes a Minnesota Viking for you to realize that supporting marriage equality is the right thing to do, you're in luck because we have just that.

Everyone, if you don't know him already from the NFL, we'd like for you to meet Chris Kluwe — and we'd like for you to meet his eloquent and beautiful message in support of gay marriage.

The NFL isn't exactly the most open place for people to express their support like this, so we want to thank Chris for being so brave and standing up for what he believes in.

To the people of Minnesota: you know what's right. You want your fellow humans, your friends and neighbors, to be just as happy as you are. If you're straight, gay marriage doesn't directly affect you. It affects those amazing people in love around you, and their ability to lead a happy life like everyone else who gets a choice as to whether or not to get married!

Watch the video above, it's absolutely worth your time!
