George HW Bush stated back in the 90’s, “We have, before us, the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and for future generations, a new world order. An order in which the rule of law, NOT THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be...” When these folks reference themselves, they are referencing THEMSELVES, not (NOT) the public. The public and The Powers That Be are not the same. The LGBTQ community is the creation of these Powers. (This isn’t even up for debate.) All the worlds a stage and when they STAGE NAME their players, they’re MOCKING you with their agenda. Of COURSE it means “progress forward to prosperity; advancement toward success; improvement by diligence”, but they’re referencing THEIR success. This fool above me can be as passive aggressive as he wants, doesn’t change the FACT that he, along with the rest of you, is getting GOT out here. Oh, and thanks for pointing out the etymology, fella, I didn’t care about this one enough to pay it mind.
@@claudeknowltonactor Yes, I think that is the issue. The trying to be like everyone else... most people are accepting and really couldn't care less what another considers their sexual orientation, as long as its not being pushed on them or their children. You / me / we are like everyone else in most ways, we are human, and we should all be comfortable being ourselves, regardless of how we identify sexually.
I don’t think enough people realize how good of a hockey player Luke is. Go watch him play with the Oil Kings in the mem cup if you’re not already doing that.
I'm sure the LGBTQ... appreciate this story, but to most hockey fans, Id bet this is turning them off of the sport. I guarantee the viewership will plummet due to the woke inclusivity they've been forcing the fans to watch as of recent. The season tickets sales will tell the story clearly.
The funny thing is, that's how most people feel. We don't give a sh*t and couldn't care less what people choose to do, as long as they aren't pushing it on others... like the NHL is doing forcing their players to wear these jerseys.
Good point, but this will help make it easier for that “top-tier” guy in the future. Rome wasn’t built in a day. And it will likely take a few decades still for people of different sexualities to be considered “normal” in such a macho environment like professional sports.
Congrats, but I honestly don't care about any player's sexual preference, religion, nationality, ethnicity, politics, whatever.... just play hard, play the game right, and play to win the Stanley Cup. A player can be an ethnic Yazidi/Maori, born in South Africa, grew-up in Russia, identifies as a trans and prays to Xenu.... if that player is 6'5 230lbs, shoots like OV, passes like Thornton, skates like McDavid and has on-ice vision like Crosby... I want that player on my team. Everything else is irrelevant.
Unfortunately, history has shown that GMs, coaches and other players continue to care what you are and where you're from so.. Be sure and speak up, to them , not this kid
I'm sure that's how he feels too. The problem is that others in society have a negative view on his lifestyle so they don't offer him the opportunities that would be given to others of the same skill level. Try to educate yourself better next time
I think everyone should care because despite the process we've made, bigots are actively trying (and in some places succeeding) to shut down conversations or halt the progress made surrounding sexuality and gender, so we as a community need to loudly and proudly say who we are. Doing so will lead to a more accepting world where, hopefully, no one will give a rats ass who someone loves. But until then, thinks like this are really important, especially to young people in tough enviroments who feel unsafe in themselves. Something like this might give them some hope.
@@PugsNotDrugs4 what does that even mean lmao? It probably is a big deal to him. Evidence is you and sports tv up there saying it’s weird. Dude likes dudes so what? Edit: didn’t mean to insinuate that you said it was weird. Just the top guy not you specifically
This really shouldn't be a story. It's weird to care so much about other people's private lives. Even if it's for "pride" - if that's the only reason, that's actually pretty belittling and just seems like classic media virtue signaling. What would be a story, hypothetically, would be to prove that there is some actual bias that still exists in the league, which is what this story is insinuating. But, nobody asks him why he was hesitant, which is probably the most important question.
why was he hesitant? have us een te comments of any pride post espescial;y when a team changed their logo? especially in this sport there are many homophobic fans unfortunately
I’d be interested to know how you handled Bedard’s mom nonsense these last couple week. Lots of “keep your bedroom life to yourself” guys all of a sudden wanted intimate details of something that started as a joke on Facebook.

In a sinful world, the people no longer recognize sin. This is sick, and there's no other way to say it. This young man, and all who support this sinful behaviour, are in trouble unless they repent and find forgiveness. A sin-sick society will perish. Read your bibles before you pay an eternal price.
Sin is a man-made social construct, just like your nonsensical religion. Get new parts for your head before it’s too late to realize you’ve wasted your life.
Ephesians 6:12 King James Version 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Bad joke but seriously, if a straight man was in a shower with beautiful naked women, do you think it would have an effect on him? Why is this any different? He's going to be naked in a shower with the sex that he is sexually attracted to. How could it not be an issue?
Good for you Luke, I'm sad for your struggles, you deserved better, I'm happy that your family loves you so much, everyone has a right to be who they are, I think you did a great thing for your LGBTQ community, good luck in your new skin, may you find what you are looking for.

I always knew people in Edmonton were cannoli munchers. In the locker room, he’s always the “hardest”.
I’m a little confused on why sexual choice has to be public. I get the stigma isn’t the same as the past but why announce it? Who really cares?
Yup, only a matter of time before the entire league is defined by the type of sexual acts they choose to perform on one another. Yay.
