Star NFL QB Kirk Cousins faces backlash after partnering with antigay hate group
Outsports first reported Cousins’ involvement with the group. Cousins’ embrace of Focus On The Family doesn’t jive with the Vikings’ values, or with the people of Minnesota, one of the most progressive states in the Midwest.
An outraged Vikings fan forwarded Cousins’ video to Outsports. “It doesn’t matter how innocuous the content in the video is,” said the fan. “Focus on the Family has consistently pushed for abhorrent policies and to enshrine their views into American law.
For the Vikings’ franchise quarterback to partner with them is shocking, disappointing, and runs counter to the image the Vikings have tried to project.”Indeed, the Vikings prioritize LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
They have at least one publicly out front office employee and promote various pro-LGBTQ+ initiatives. Focus On The Family, obviously, peddles anti-gay hate.
