Not only is Denver Nuggets NBC basketball player Kenneth Faried on the court in the world of basketball, he’s also on the court in the quest for marriage equality. A few days ago, he uploaded a video where he’s sitting in between his mothers, Waudda and Carol and he explains what it’s like having two mothers and why he believes in equality for the LGBT community.
“I support civil union, because it gives people — gays and lesbians — the right to make decisions on their own,” he says in the video. “If they want to get married and let them choose who they want to be with.” He adds, “Nobody can ever tell me I can’t have two mothers, because I really do.”
Watch the touching video below. His mothers must be so proud of him and appreciative of the message he’s sending out. The more people continue to speak out like this and share their stories, the greater the chance for change and increased equality.

God bless this young man and his family. I don’t really follow sports at all, but I learned about his support for his mothers and for gay marriage from a post on my facebook page. I googled more information about him, and was so impressed by his entire life story. This is one great kid. I hope he gets to live his dream in the NBA to the fullest — I wouldn’t be surprised to see him play a significant role in politics some day. He’d get my vote for congressman, senator, even president. I wish and pray for God’s healing on his biological mom, for continued love and happiness between her and her spouse, and for blessings on his biological dad, who has also supported him in his endeavors. Most of all, God bless Kenneth Faried.
