Patron Saint of Shower Smut

We are all in this together. I don't consider myself a very prideful person a lot of the time, but I know that we are fighting together. There is no room to 'punch down' in this environment, there is no room for hate between ourselves. If you demonize just one of us, they will eventually demonize you. We have to love each other, that's what pride is. If you feel hate for any one of us then you are a traitor to pride and a traitor to your brothers, sisters, and siblings of all kinds. Especially now, when so many of us are still well and truly fighting for the mere right to exist as we are.

"he needs an excuse to get a break from work and he would look so beautiful pregnant. 🫃🏼 bonus points if its a B.O.W baby."

"Give me that handsome man. Will take him as a young man or as a grey fox in the newest game . Give him an excuse to retire his knees hurt. He would have a lil girl and name her something cute."

"Everything I have ever learned about this man is from friends who like putting him in situations so I thought I’d do my part."

"Top 3 most breedable men in the franchise without a doubt. His emo phase during Vendetta needs to be studied bc I fear he was either in postpartum depression or on his cycle."

"He killed Hitler, he deserves it."

"He's so breedable, and he'd love it so much."

"He’d be hotter and that's enough."

"THE OG OMEGA!"

"He’s called himself Sam's mother, he said he’s nesting, he’s great with kids. He is The Omega, out of all of his sex scenes he has never been on top, he gets disproportionately flustered when men flirt with him as opposed to women. He deserves to be pregnant and eat pie and relax for once damn it."

"Look at his face and you simply cannot deny that man needs to be pregnant. He’s The Omega tm."

“I think forget sports … I think we’re in a society now that people do come out,” he said.

There’s no doubt there have been gay players in the NHL before and that there are some today. But they obviously don’t feel comfortable coming out publicly in a league that still has a well-earned reputation for being an “old boys’ club.”

About 25 years ago, Tom Harrington was a CBC sports reporter and host of the Sports Journal magazine show. He was researching a story about an NHL player who was gay while working with a go-between who ran a support group in Toronto that helped professional and amateur athletes who were gay. Harrington was told there was a “prominent” NHL player who had been thinking about coming out.

During the next year-and-a-half, Harrington said he worked with his go-between trying to convince the NHL player to do an interview, but the player was “extremely reluctant and afraid he’d be exposed.” Harrington tried to arrange a phone interview or a meeting with the player, who asked if his voice could be disguised in a phone call in case Harrington recognized him. Harrington promised the go-between he would never reveal the player’s identity unless he permitted it.

“It was a step closer to the beginning of something, but it was also a window into just how terrified he was, and it said a lot about the culture at the time in professional male sports, where players didn’t feel they could even take the initial step to come out, let alone reveal themselves,” Harrington said in a phone interview Tuesday.

Harrington said the player eventually decided not to come out, saying he was too scared of the impact it would have on his family, hockey career and his life after hockey.

“I remember saying at the time (to the go-between): ‘You know, there are a lot of people who would be very supportive of him. There would be businesses lining up to sponsor him to have him as a spokesperson. I’m telling you, there’s an untapped market for someone like this … the Jackie Robinson of gays in sports.’ But, ultimately, it failed.

“I never knew who the player was and to this day I still don’t know who it was,” added Harrington, who retired last year after almost 44 years at CBC.
