Dabo Swinney Draws Ire With Support of Anti-LGBT Group

Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney is set to appear at a fundraiser for the Palmetto Family Council on June 2nd, a move that has turned a few heads in South Carolina.

Swinney’s support of The Family Council, a group that is inherently discriminatory against the LGBT community based on its mission statement — “Our vision is to transform the culture in South Carolina by promoting the values and virtues of marriage, the traditional family model, and sexual purity” — has been met with brushback. One fan even started a petition on change.org asking Swinney to withdraw his involvement.
