    Not to diminish the importance of having more celebrity support, but I expected nothing less of him. Would we really believe a pro skateboarder would prefer to uphold traditional opinions? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    This is hilarious. Imagine the shock on so many of his fans' faces about it. I also wouldn't be surprised if said fans began to boycott him for being a "queer lover"

    Also: The man has wrinkles. And grey hair. Tony Hawk is not allowed to have wrinkles or grey hair. Nope, nope, nope. Tony Hawk becoming old means I'm also getting old.

    I thought this was cool, but wasn't sure if being GLBT supportive was common among skaters on average compared to the general population. Does anyone have an opinion on that?

    OMFG YES!!! This makes me so happy because I saw him and actually met him briefly when he was at Six Flags Over Texas promoting the ride that was named after him several years ago!
     
  11. About time too. I certainly had no intention of getting gaymarried until the skateboarders gave their approval.

    Just waiting now for the stamp collectors and the railway modellers.

    Some of his fans may have change their opinion about same sex marriage, and thats important.
