Colts Coach Tony Dungy opposes gay marriage in speech
I guess Tony Dungy's "one of the nicest guys in sports" -- unless you're a gay person.

Colts coach Tony Dungy said he knows some people would prefer him to steer clear of the gay marriage debate, but he used a speech Tuesday night to clearly stake out his position. Dungy told more than 700 people at the Indiana Family Institute's banquet that he agrees with that organization's position supporting a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. "I appreciate the stance they're taking, and I embrace that stance," Dungy said. Local and national gay-rights organizations had criticized Dungy for accepting the invitation to appear at the banquet. The institute, affiliated with Focus on the Family, has been one of the leading supporters of the marriage amendment.

1. My advice to those who are against gay marriage....
is that they should not marry someone of the same sex. Outside of that, NOTFB, imo.
