Seattle Storm to Meet President Obama Today--Will They Ask Him Why He Doesn't Support Same-Sex Marriage?
Last Friday, after the Seattle Storm beat the Minnesota Lynx 65-55, the team invited reporters into the locker room for questions. Sarah Toce from the Seattle Lesbian blog was there and reported that during the question-and-answer session, someone yelled out "They just passed [same-sex] marriage in New York!" and there were cheers all around. Forward Lauren Jackson even said it made her "proud for humanity."
So, considering that the team will meet with President Barack Obama in the White House today, and given the WNBA has a well-earned reputation as possibly the most gay-friendly professional sports league around, one can't help but wonder if the Storm players will ask Obama why he doesn't support same-sex marriage.
