Tony Hawk joins the growing list of people declaring that marriage is an equal right.
Haven’t heard of Tony Hawk? Well, there’s a good chance that someone within 20 feet of you has. It was hard to grow up in the 80s-90s, or have a kid then, who didn’t know who Tony Hawk was. A lot of us wanna-be skaters ruined perfectly good notebooks and mirrors with Tony Hawk stickers, and a lot of real skaters plastered his name on their boards (and helmets, if they were smart).
We grew up with this guy. He was a dude. The poster boy for skating, the kind that didn’t get you banned from shopping malls or carried home in a squad car. And now our kids are idolizing him, because he’s still doing tricks that most skaters only dream of.
And now this. Human Rights Campaign released his Americans for Marriage Equality video.
Thanks, Tony, for giving us another reason to keep thinking you’re totally radical, dude!
