Kwame Harris (pictured here as a member of the San Francisco 49ers in 2007) was arrested last August after what was an apparently vicious fight with an ex-boyfriend in the parking lot of a Menlo Park, California restaurant.

The details of the incident weren't noted by the media until Monday, when the San Mateo Daily Journal reported that Harris was due in court for a pretrial hearing related to felony counts of domestic violence and assault. Until this report, Harris was not widely known to be gay.

The two were just friends at this point and the purpose of the meeting was to get a bite before Harris drove Geier to the airport. But then things took a weird turn.
