The NFL has announced that it will be hosting its third annual ‘A Night of Pride’ on February 7 in the lead-up to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The evening aims to “spotlight advances in the future of LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports as well the NFL’s commitment to LGBTQ former and current players.”

The NFL, just as it has the previous two years, is hosting the event in partnership with a non-profit organization called GLAAD – the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
“GLAAD’s partnership with the NFL is committed to creating spaces where all fans can celebrate and to growing important visibility for LGBTQ fans at the Super Bowl and all season long,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in the league’s official statement.
