New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Jeffrey Rohrer, former NFL linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and the first NFL player to enter a same-sex marriage, releases original song, "Come Build A
Rainbow With Me", to continue the celebrations of PRIDE beyond Pride Month. Written and performed by Rohrer, as a Dallas Cowboy emoji character, the tune is meant to spread a positive message of love and understanding.
Jeffrey Rohrer, the first NFL player to enter a same-sex marriage, releases original song to celebrate PRIDE.
Last week, Carl Nassib made NFL history by publicly coming out. It was a courageous step previously taken by Esera Tuaolo, Ryan O'Callaghan, Michael Sam and Rohrer himself in 2018 when he married his partner, Celebrity Aesthetician Joshua Ross of SkinLab. "It was a beautiful thing and a great moment for the NFL. I've dedicated this song to Carl and to anyone else who's coming out. It takes a lot of courage and as someone who has been through it, it's important to get the message out that it's ok to be gay," says Rohrer.
Rohrer wrote the "Come Build A
Rainbow With Me" lyrics to help build an understanding between the gay community and society. His favorite verse, "love those that hate you, and those that berate you, be bigger than them, come build a rainbow with me" expresses that love wins.
"This is my contribution to pride and I want it to serve as an art piece that spreads joy," says Rohrer. His hope is that it will help continue the celebration of pride throughout the year.
