The NBA, under commissioner Adam Silver, has been as aggressive as ever in supporting equality for all genders, races, religious beliefs, sexual orientations and more. He made sure it was known that racial equality was important when he banned Donald Sterling for life over his racist comments. He's questioning whether or not the NBA will pull the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte because of a North Carolina law discriminating against the LGBT community.
On Sunday, Silver, deputy commissioner Mark Tatum and the NBA family took that support of the LGBT community further by becoming the first professional sports league to walk in the New York City pride parade.
