Minnesota Viking star running back Adrian Peterson told a radio station that, while he loves his family members who are gay, he doesn’t support same-sex marriage.
“I have relatives who are gay. I’m not biased towards them. I still treat them the same. I love ’em,” Peterson said in an interview on Sirius/XM’s NFL Radio. “But again, I’m not with that. That’s not something I believe in. But to each his own.”
Peterson’s stance on the issue is opposite that of his former teammate Chris Kluwe, the Vikings’ punter last season, who was a very vocal advocate for same-sex marriage. Over the last year, Kluwe appeared on several news shows and penned editorials to voice his support, as well as posed for Out, a gay magazine.
Minnesota is also the latest state to legal same-sex marriage earlier this month, which will go into effect August 1.
Peterson was named MVP last season less than a year after tearing his ACL and MCL. He came within nine yards of breaking the league record for rushing yards in a season.
