Superbowl champ Brendon Ayanbadejo is making the most of the national spotlight this week: not only has he released a new video about the freedom to marry, but he's also just authored a USA Today opinion piece about homophobia in sports.

Hard to believe, but an entire year has gone by since the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional. In the intervening months, we've kept busy preparing for a showdown before the Supreme Court, and now at last we're just days away from oral argument.

In less than 48 days, Ted Olson and David Boies will walk up the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to make the case that our Constitution protects everyone equally and that every American is guaranteed the freedom to marry the person they love.

Anti-gay comments overshadow the Superbowl, but they can't stop progress in Arizona, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. We have new legislation and strong polling to carry marriage forward from coast to coast. Plus, amicus briefs in the Prop 8 case.
