CA: Chris Kluwe & Brendon Ayanbedejo file amicus brief in support of same-sex marriage

LGBT allys and NFL football players Chris Kluwe (Minnesota Vikings) and Brendon Ayanbedejo (Baltimore Ravens) have filed their own amicus brief in support of repealing Prop 8 in California.  The brief was filed on the last day "friend of the court" briefs could be filed.

From ESPN:

In the brief, Kluwe and Ayanbadejo argue that athletes have a good deal of influence -- for better or worse -- and they wanted to express their support for the right of gays to marry legally.

"When we advance the idea that some people should be treated differently because of who they are," they wrote, "demeaned in public as lesser beings, not worthy of the same rights and benefits as others despite their actions as good citizens and neighbors, then we deny them equal protection under the laws. America has walked this path before, and courageous people and the Court brought us to the right result. We urge the Court to repeat those actions here."
