“Same-sex displays of affection are becoming much more common. Michael Sam is just reflecting that fact. He was celebrating a good thing in his life. People who have a problem with that need to get with the times. They need to be more open-minded and accepting.”

“I’m all for LGBT rights. The younger generation should be exposed to guys kissing. Guys and girls kiss all the time. Nobody complaints about that. Michael Sam did a great thing. It’s nothing but love.”

“I thought it was a very natural expression of joy at a fantastic moment in his life. I was surprised by all the commotion it caused. It’s not like they did anything overtly sexual. I guess I forget that there’s still so much hatred out there.”

“It’s a free world. He has every right to kiss his boyfriend. It wasn’t inappropriate at all. To me, it was perfectly normal. What he did was nothing to be shunned, or to be ashamed about.”
