On CNN, ESPN's Granderson Likens Michael Sam's Detractors to the KKK

On Monday's CNN Newsroom, ESPN senior writer L.Z. Granderson compared those who decried Michael Sam's kiss with his boyfriend after he was drafted by the St. Louis Rams to a racist organization that lynched minorities: "Yes, some of the objection is part of the storyline, but we didn't celebrate the KKK during...the March on Washington."

Anchor Carol Costello praised Sam's "courage," and lamented that Americans haven't gone far enough in their support of the homosexual agenda:

CAROL COSTELLO: I think it's more than a few people, sadly...because while Americans may be more accepting of gay people, they're not quite there yet. I mean, look at the TV show 'Modern Family.' You never see the couple in that show kissing or doing anything remotely romantic, and there's a reason for that.
