Abby Wambach -- World Cup Kiss a Huge Score for Worldwide Gay Rights (VIDEO)

Abby Wambach isn’t afraid of the big moment, and she seized one right after the World Cup when she locked lips with her wife in front of a global TV audience.

Moments after the final whistle ... Abby sprinted off field to celebrate with her wife, Sarah Huffman. It was an especially big (even historic) moment for gay rights -- coming on the heels of the Supreme Court decision, and happening on one of the biggest sports stages possible.

The nation got to see Michael Sam have his draft day kiss with his boyfriend, but that's nothing compared to the over 21 million worldwide viewers that saw Abby's PDA.
