Cristiano Ronaldo Supports Portugal's Marriage Equality Law

Portuguese football and fashion phenom Cristiano Ronaldo support's the nation's new marriage equality law.

In an interview with Público and translation provided by Blabbeando's Andrés Duque, the footballer says: "The Portuguese man that I am, I try to keep informed about what is happening in my country. I know the law was passed and the comment it deserves is that we must respect the choices made by anyone, because, after all, all citizens should have the exact same rights and responsibilities."

That's excellent news from one of the world's top footballers. The sport has had its share of recent headlines from homophobic attitudes by fans and players alike.
