Super Bowl XLVI, a gay ole time

So the Chicago Bears failed to make it to the Big Game again this year, but that’s no reason to miss the gay ole time this Sunday.

Super Bowl XLVI will feature the New England Patriots (15-3) and the New York Giants (12-7). According to OutSports.com, these are two gay-friendly teams, both representing states where gay marriage is legal. Also, the owners of both teams have supported gay rights.

The Super Bowl commercials, at $3.5 million for a 30-second ad, are always the talk the day after. This year gay icon David Beckham will be modeling his new line for H&M.

If that’s not enough to peak your interest, one of the greatest gay icons will perform the 12 minute half time show. Madonna will be “bringing the gay to the Super Bowl.” Apparently that’s what some of her dancers have been overheard saying.

Are you ready for some football? Check out these Super Bowl happenings and have a gay ole time!
