    A really interesting piece -can we have more sports commentary? I’d like to hear your thoughts on major league baseball teams doing “It Gets Better” ads, I don’t think any NFL team has done one…Although I’m really appreciative of all the MLB teams that have done one, they’re usually advertised as anti-bullying campaigns, not anti-gay bullying
