Yep, they've agreed to do an "It Gets Better" video. There seems to be a bit of a shift in pro sports on this question, doesn't there?
What I love about this campaign is that it requires no top-down control, no fundraising, no distortion through identity politics, and no government support to work. This video came about through an online petition organized by a fan, Sean Chapin. And it all started with one viral video from Dan and Terry. It has no political power – just cultural power. This was always the ace card of the movement. We are so much better at shifting culture than lobbying Washington. That, of course, was one of the original arguments of the very first homocons.
On related news, Dan and Terry will be New York Pride's Grand Marshalls. It was once unthinkable that Dan – who has long been a bete noire of the gay rights establishment – should be honored in such a way. But then it was once unthinkable that a pro football baseball team would be backing gay rights, or that New York City's mayor and New York State's governor would be campaigning for marriage equality because it's the right thing to do, even though it may not be that effective.
[Update: Yes, my sports illiteracy has been exposed again.]
