Its 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 countrys 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 mens 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 mens 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 teams colors, blue and gold.

I haven’t watched the Warriors all season long. This will only make me want to keep staying away.
Or until one gets bored and finds a new, younger boyfriend.
Bet the bruthas gonna be showering elsewhere when he’s around.
How swwwwwwwweet
I think it was a typo. The mayor’s name should be “London Bridge”, she’s sure been “falling down” on the job.
She’s no Di-Blahblahblah-sio, but then again, SF was 90% of the way down the crap hole when she became mayor. New York was still semi-respectable when he was sworn in, despite what “Mini Mike” Bloomberg did in his years infesting the office.
Sad.
“is there a homo equivalent of the term cougar because that is what this creep appears to be. :::shivers:::
El Cougar de los ninos del mismo sexo. Translated into English means a cougar that preys on the young of the same sex.
Gross, as I would say when I was a teenager.
As an adult? GROSS.
I knew there was a reason I was disinterested in pro basketball.
This kind of crap is why Mark Jackson parted ways with this organization.
Bunch of perverse freaks.
At at least he didn’t go Trans.
Correct. A man cannot marry a man.
Similarly, gay and straight are made up words and signify nothing.
Humans are created male and female and are meant for each other.
Sexual relations between the two are normal, and only perversion lies outside that union.
Amen.
Just their age alone tells me they are not going to have children and start a normal family.
The Warriors record at this point in the season on Saturday Jan. 18 is
9w 34l for a .209 percentage. The worst in the NBA. Nuff said.
