Drew Boyd: " i was asked to say a few words tonight. i asked 'why?'. they said, 'because you're a hero'. a hero... because i played football? because after a lifetime of denial i was finally honest about who i am? i don't call that heroic. what is heroic is standing up for the rights you deserve, no matter what the consequences. and that's exactly what those who were injured... and who lost their lives last night were doing. or trying to before they were stopped. but they were up against a powerful opponent - hatred. hatred spread by those that want to deny others what's rightfully theirs. in the name of their God, their family, their country. i guess they forgot that America belongs to everyone.
