I'm going to a MNF party with MD governor Martin O'Malley!

[Bertha Venation]

Through Marylanders for Marriage Equality, I entered a contest to go to a Monday Night Football party with Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo. Remember him? He came out for marriage equality and got slammed by Maryland legislator C. Emmett Burns Jr. (See Huffpo article here: http://tinyurl.com/9s4dovc). *

I got a call this afternoon saying I'd won! Nine other supporters have been chosen to attend.

I don't know football well enough to chat it up with Brendon, and I don't know politics well enough to chat it up with The Gov, but I'm darn sure going to talk to them, maybe have my photo made with them.

What to wear?!



* Burns, among other things, called for the owner of the Ravens to shut up Ayanbadejo, saying that no other football players support marriage equality. That's when Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe let loose on Burns (see his response here http://tinyurl.com/9v63aty).
