ControversiesAltercation with a tow truck driverIn 1999, Burns accused a tow truck driver of uttering a racial slur, a claim the driver denied. Michael Stansbury, a tow truck driver for Flash Towing, said that he denied service to the politician after Burns started shouting at him and used a profane term to refer to his race.[10] Letter to Baltimore Ravens ownerAfter Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo voiced his support for same-sex marriage, Burns wrote a letter on August 29, 2012, to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, on official Maryland State letterhead, demanding that Mr. Bisciotti "take the necessary action ... to inhibit such expressions from your employee," further stating, "I know of no other NFL player who has done what Mr. Ayanbadejo is doing." Ayanbadejo's off-field activities did not violate any NFL or Ravens' rules or regulations. Burns was criticized for trying to use the authority of his government position to prevent a citizen from exercising their First Amendment rights and for taking a public position on same-sex marriage that was in direct conflict with his Democratic Party platform and the constituency that elected him. In an interview for The Washington Post, a spokesperson for the Ravens acknowledged that the team had received the letter but refused to give any further comment.[11][12][13] Later however, the Ravens publicly supported Ayanbadejo's right to voice his viewpoints. Ayanbadejo himself affirmed in a subsequent interview with The Baltimore Sun that he had received public support for his actions and that he had no intention of backing away from them.[14] Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe famously came to Ayanbadejo's defense, penning a scathing retort for the popular sports website Deadspin. After echoing previous criticisms and wondering why Burns "hates freedom," Kluwe stated that making gay marriage legal "won't magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster" and that he himself has been very vocal in supporting same-sex marriage, despite Burns' claim that Ayanbadejo was the only NFL player to do so.[15]Burns ultimately recanted his demand and acknowledged that Ayanbadejo had the right to speak out on same-sex marriage.[16] Notes1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/gay-in-maryland/gay-matters/bs-gm-burns-departure-20130708,0,915029.story |title=Anti-gay Maryland lawmaker to retire |publisher=Baltimore Sun |date=2013-07-10 |accessdate=2013-07-17}} 2. ^{{cite web|author=Kevin Rector|work= The Baltimore Sun |url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-07-08/features/bs-gm-burns-departure-20130708_1_equality-maryland-other-gay-rights-initiatives-burns-jr |title=Prominent gay marriage opponent to depart Annapolis in 2014 |publisher=Articles.baltimoresun.com |date=2013-07-08 |accessdate=2014-04-02}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://mlis.state.md.us/2007rs/billfile/HB0359.htm |title=BILL INFO-2007 Regular Session-HB 359 |publisher=Mlis.state.md.us |date= |accessdate=2012-09-08}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://mlis.state.md.us/1998rs/votes/house/1229.htm |title=Vote Record 1229 |publisher=Mlis.state.md.us |date=1998-04-06 |accessdate=2012-09-08}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mdchamber.org/docs/ss_hb2.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2007-07-13 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120209113112/http://www.mdchamber.org/docs/ss_hb2.pdf |archivedate=2012-02-09 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c-qjePNL-s |title=MD Delegate Emmett Burns on Out-Of-State Marriage Equality Recognition |publisher=YouTube |date=2010-01-26 |accessdate=2012-09-08}} 7. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bal-md.briefs041feb04,0,4117506.story |title= Lawmakers reject ban on recognizing same-sex unions |publisher=Baltimore Sun}} Retrieved on February 05 2010 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/billfile/hb0438.htm |title=BILL INFO-2012 Regular Session-HB 438 |publisher=Mlis.state.md.us |date= |accessdate=2012-09-08}} 9. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.elections.state.md.us/elections/2006/results/general/legislative_district_10.html| title=House of Delegates Results |publisher=Maryland State Board of Elections}} Retrieved on Sept, 08 2007 10. ^{{cite web|last=Willis|first=Dail|title=Tow truck driver denies aiming racial slur at Burns|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1999-08-21/news/9908220001_1_stansbury-burns-layman|publisher=The Baltimore Sun|accessdate=9/7/12}} 11. ^{{cite news|last=Rosenwald |first=Michael S. |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/rosenwald-md/post/del-emmett-burns-blasts-ravens-for-linebackers-support-of-gay-marriage/2012/09/06/edf6f52a-f829-11e1-8398-0327ab83ab91_blog.html |title=Del.
