This gay dad & his son were VIPs for the Buffalo Bills’ big win on ‘Monday Night Football’
A post shared by Papa Forge (@rainbowdads)The Rainbow Dads are the (un)official gay family of the NFL. As hardcore Buffalo Bills fans, Papa Forge and Corey have spent many fall Sundays at Highmark Stadium, where their favorite team has played since 1973.
Yet, they haven’t always felt comfortable amongst their fellow diehards. “We don’t see much inclusion in football and in sports, especially like at the stadiums,” Papa Forge told Spectrum News. “When I’m bringing my son, my husband, I started having to worry about other people that are with me, so I never felt that comfortable in this that safety, about being that open about being a fan.”Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.That started to change four years ago, when the Rainbow Dads attended their first Bills game as a happy family.
On the invitation of Bills president Kim Pegula, Papa Forge and Corey traveled to Western New York for a special Sunday, with Little Forge in the middle.
They’ve been regulars ever since, including on Monday night. Papa Forge and Little Forge attended the Bills’ epic 23-20 win over the rival New York Jets, with a close-up view.
