Golden State Warriors President Rick Welts marries longtime boyfriend: ‘We made history’
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Jan. 17, 2020 | Heather Knight

It’s San Francisco. Rightly, when it comes to love, anything goes.

But one wedding this month garnered attention for breaking one of the last barriers in this country’s long fight for marriage equality. Rick Welts, president of the Golden State Warriors, married Todd Gage, a Southwest flight attendant, in Room 200.

It is believed to be the first time an executive for a professional men’s sports team married his same-sex partner. According to the Advocate, there are no out players in professional male sports and just a smattering of out executives and coaches. Same-sex weddings in the macho world of men’s pro sports were unheard of — until now.

Mayor London Breed officiated the wedding of Welts, who turns 67 Tuesday, and Gage, 44, at 11 a.m. Jan. 10. She pronounced them “spouses for life,” popped Champagne and served macaroons in the team’s colors, blue and gold.

“president of the Golden State Warriors, married Todd Gage, a Southwest flight attendant”

67 and 44

Mr Gage found him a sugar daddy.

Since it is San Freakcisco instead of throwing rice they should be throwing homeless excrement at the “happy” couple! That would be very symbolic of what the left has done to that city!

With good reason...

I’m sure one of them - or both - have the backdoor move to the basket down pat.

No, that would be Hawaii. But they use the rainbow in its original meaning.

2018 was Colin’s year
2019 was Meghan’s year
2020’s new faces of SPORTS.

Narcissm of nutcases takes precedence over the hard work of athletes. Anyone with an opposing point of view must be silenced athletes/sports fans. The AGENDA must be driven. The vehicle is sports.

No, we don’t need to know. It’s irrelevant.

Sho' nuff true on that one.

"Red-headed women buck like goats."

J.J. offered up that one too.

Then of course the well-named Debra Messing IS a goat.

The Sodomites of Sodom & Gomorrah once smiled and winked at such silliness.

Until one day....

Exactly. He did not “marry” anyone, but he is sodomizing his partner in sin.
