This past Sunday, the 2012 Pro Bowling Association (PBA) Chameleon Championship game aired on ESPN. According to Out Sports, what is believed to be a first in pro sporting events occurred:
ESPN showed openly gay male pro bowler Scott Norton hug and kiss his husband following his championship win:
Scott Norton won the event over Jason Belmonte and afterward broke down and cried in memory of a friend who had died. He was then shown kissing his husband, Craig Woodward, as they exchanged affectionate words (video below). During the telecast, ESPN’s announcers referred to Woodward as Norton’s husband or spouse.
