The super bowl is gay

I like soccer. But football? On some level, I get it. I find the actual playing of the sport engaging.

We all know it anyway. Acceptance of homosexual and bisexual sports stars — even in hyper-masculine football — is becoming more commonplace, however, and if you need proof, just look at the Super Bowl. Queer people have been scoring big for visibility at the big game for the past few years, a trend that we hope continues at Super Bowl LVI on February 13 and well into the future. In the meantime, here are a few proverbial touchdowns for the queer community in NFL world championship history and beyond.

Let's face it: Super Bowl XIV wasn't the queerest event on the cultural calendar — though a surprise pre-show performance by Lady Gaga and a bold halftime show from Kendrick Lamar with help from SZA and a dancing Serena Williams did add some pride to the proceedings. But that didn't stop the gays from turning out to this year's the Big Gay Super Bowl Party, an annual watch party and fundraiser hosted by Brian Pendleton. The packed event at a private Hollywood Hills residence draws something of a Who's Who from the gay L. See pics from the event from photographer and artist Miguel Angel Reyes ahead.
