This link is NSFW for language and just pretty funny in general.
Basically Brendon Ayanbadejo, a player for the Ravens expressed thoughtful, coherent support for gay marriage and Emmett C. Burns Jr a Maryland state delegate wrote a letter to the Ravens encouraging them to "inhibit such expressions from your employee."
The internet went wild. You can read the comments on the site, which are also NSFW but this was all over. People were condemning the infringement upon First Amendment rights, the bullying of a private citizen by an elected official and, especially, the intolerance and hateful nature of the Religious Right and Republicans in general.
Sadly, Burns is a Democrat. Oops.
