On Memorial Day, same-sex marriage advocate and Super Bowl champion, Brendon Ayanbadejo, teamed up with Equality Florida for an event known as “Tackle Equality.” The fundraising event was limited to just 100 people, providing an intimate dinner at Fort Lauderdale’s own kitchenetta. During his announcement that he joined forces with Equality Florida to fight for LGBT equality, the Fort Lauderdale resident spoke of his plans at a rally outside of the Supreme Court: “It is not enough to have to have marriage equality in some parts of the country. We need full equality everywhere.” Kitchenetta owner, Vincent Foti, says that Brendon isn’t exactly a stranger to the restaurant. He says,“Brendon is a good friend and customer.” He went on to say, “Brendon is a friend of mine and this is a subject that is close to his heart. I try not to get involved in political positions based on what I do, but I believe all people should have the same rights. It’s none of our business.”
