Thanks for sharing your story. Makes you appreciate how far parts of society has come. But also makes me question if professional sports really does enough to create an environment where players – both professionals and non – can easily come out?
and hell yay for the Rangers win tonight!

Welcome aboard the Puckbuddys tream. I’m not worried in the slightest about your threat to skewer all the teams, especially as I can’t think of a single negative thing you could say about the Habs.

I’ve lived in a small community in Maine for almost 25 years now and I have to say I’ve never experienced any DIRECT homophobia (being called a faggot to my face, vandalism, getting threatened or beaten up, etc.) but the INDIRECT homophobia you could cut with a knife it’s so thick… denied jobs even though I was the best person for the job hands down, lies and slander spread about me (including a conservative newspaper reporter writing the most heinous things about me when I was an elected official in the local newspaper that he really should’ve been sued for and/or fired), accusations that I must be butt fucking everyone’s allegedly straight husbands & boyfriends (which, jesus, was only partially true), and so on. Progress? I guess. But more like baby steps. Thanks for taking the puck and running with it.

Ok, so we get a glimpse of your personal life. I get it, you like it in the ass, so what? But what does t have to do with hockey? Tonight, is a Devils vs Rangers game. No mention at all of it?

Maybe I’ll help.

The courage it takes to stop a frozen piece of solid rubber moving at a speed in excess of 70 miles per hour pales in the face of the courage it takes to face a bigoted world with the truth of ones heart. We have heard,”the truth shall set you free.” Only the courageous have the strength to pay the price of unbridled truth, and that price is indeed necessary for real societal change. Keep fighting, keep playing, keep shutting them out. When you win, we all win!

I do have to say though that I have seen that small town mentality, coming form the same small town, and that was one thing I could never understand. They say it takes a village to raise a child but god forbid if that child is gay, then that child is shunned and that child’s peers unmercifully bully them. These same peers who would love George Takei but spray paint fag on a gay kids house. I could never understand this but then I come from a diversified family, growing up with gay uncle and lesbian grandmother long before I knew what being gay was.

Life is hard, doesn’t need to be made harder by narrow minded people and their inability to accept others of how they are.
