VATICAN CITY – Michael Sam, the NFL’s first openly gay player, got engaged to boyfriend Vito Cammisano last week while on vacation in Italy.

Popular entertainment and gossip site TMZ mentioned the news on January 8, but Michael Sam kept silent on social media until January 16, when he tweeted out the following photo:

Sam popped the question atop St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.

Because Satan doesn’t go after his own.

Could we please stop publicizing this classless freak?

The choice of location is deliberately insulting. It tells you what spirit infests these persons.

St. Gregory the Great:

"Sacred Scripture itself confirms that sulfur evokes the stench of the flesh, as it speaks of the rain of fire and sulfur poured upon Sodom by the Lord. He had decided to punish Sodom for the crimes of the flesh, and the very type of punishment he chose emphasized the shame of that crime. For sulfur stinks, and fire burns. So it was just that Sodomites, burning with perverse desires arising from the flesh like stench, should perish by fire and sulfur so that through this just punishment they would realize the evil they had committed, led by a perverse desire."

Go away,you attention whore!

I’m not convinced this is about being insulting however. I think they think they have found a friend in Francis and therefore believe that this was a totally valid and acceptable move.

What will happen to them someday, when they can’t “make news” to try to fill the emptiness with media attention?

An orgy of suicide, domestic violence, and despair.

I've got a militant lesbian cousin in Minnesota who has real emotional problems now that she's "married".She and her partner no longer have the constant source of rage to bind them together.

Michael Sam is doing a lot to stay in the news.

I’ll be impressed if he announces his home wedding in Mecca.

Certainly possible. After all, Cdl. Dolan's "Bravo!" didn't exactly convey disapproval.

“I wonder why his handlers at LGBTQXYZ, Inc. told him to say he did it there?”

He didn’t just say it. There are photos.

“But gay people are absolutely focused on the fact that the Catholic Church passively disagrees with their lifestyle.”

Satan knows who his real enemy is!

For those wishing to send a gift, the couple has registered with Unilever, makers of Vaseline.

I've got a militant homosexual cousin. Self-destructive, drug and alcohol abuser, constantly in and out of rehab. Tragic, ruined life.

My brother-in-law’s counsin’s brother is a “transgender”.. lol... freakshow.

[God luvs America]

no...and you gotta wonder where he’s getting all this money to fly off to the Vatican with his boyfriend...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder why his handlers at LGBTQXYZ, Inc. told him to do it there?

The reporter, Kevis S Held, must be a queer, because he doesn’t understand the NFL or sports in general. An “NFL Player” is someone who is a member of a team. Someone who tries out for a team, but is cut because of substandard ability, is not considered to be a member of a team.

Well saying over hyped queer failed wannabe NFL player just doesn't have the same drama queen impact.

The dude was making $6,000 a week doing nothing as a member of the practice squad for a couple months

Vito Cammisano is the son of a mobster. Probably stopped at the Vatican on their way to Sicily. Sam was heard mumbling “Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday......”
