Ex-Football Player Comes Out Swinging…
June 28th, 2010 by DickDid you have fun this weekend at Pride? Get goosed and gayed enough? Great! Now back to reality people! Can’t be all fun, games and glitter!
Retired NFL defensive lineman Esera Tuaolo came out in 2002 after nine years of playing pro football. Hooray!
The same Esera Tuaolo was arrested & charged with domestic assault & disorderly conduct this week. Booooo !
Tuaolo released the following statement to the press:
“This is a private situation that has gotten blown out of proportion by the media. My personal relationship is very dear to my heart, and it upsets me deeply that this private matter now has to be played out in front of the public. I love my boyfriend, and I am now focused on my loving family; I ask everyone for privacy as we work through this.”
The former Minnesota Viking said there is more to the story than what is being reported by the media, (AWAYS! The media hasn’t yet begun to tell us how Nicolde Kidman’s daughter is really her niece or how the Moon landing was faked…) and that he looks forward to telling the full story at the appropriate time.
While we certainly believe that Mr. Tuaolo should be considered innocent until proven guilty, we also hope this story reminds all of us that domestic violence isn’t just a hobby of the str8 community. Violence and abuse also sometimes cast an evil shadow on same-sex relationships, and it is often even more under-reported then heterosexual relationships. Guess it is hard for a dude to admit his dude is smacking him around…Still, it ain’t right.
If you think you or a friend is in an abusive relationship, here are different ways you can get help.
