Oh Donald, there you go again! Donald Trump appeared on Fox & Friends Monday and weighed in on Michael Sam’s reaction to being drafted by the St. Louis Rams. In true fashion, Mr. Trump spewed the usual conservative statements one could expect from the hair-plagued billionaire.
From Raw Story:
?Donald Trump said on Monday he had been shocked to see Michael Sam’s reaction when he was chosen in the NFL draft because kissing his gay boyfriend in public had been ?pretty out there.?
Trump also stated:
?I’ve heard many people who thought the display after he was chosen was inappropriate. And whether or not it was, I don’t know. But it was certainly out there a little bit??
Michael Sam, of course, is the defensive end drafted by the St. Louis Rams and also one of the first openly gay players in the National Football League. In his excitement over being drafted, Sam was caught on camera kissing his boyfriend much to the dismay of conservatives, anti-gay groups, and some fellow players.
Though Donald Trump is entitled to his opinion, he must be hiding in a closet (no pun intended). There are many more miles to travel in the journey to equality; however, popular media has already taken the steps to embrace the LGBTQ community in film, music, and now sports. Hopefully, Mr. Trump does not watch television himself, or he may be in for a shock.
