First NHL player to come out: ‘Homophobic slurs and language needs to change’

1. This comment section is filled with Christians who think people care about their magical sky daddy book.

2. I find it amusing that a lot of people who are coming out worry about how members of "macho," "manly" endeavors will react. Because those are seen as bastions of masculinity.

   Historically, you find homosexuality in the most "manliest" of endeavors, the military. Look at the Spartans. was part of it's culture, it

3. This is all about attention getter

4. 19?
   damn.. he looks at least 30.

5. I don't care what he says. He is sick in the head and needs help. He belongs in prison!

6. That's why gay people have less male friends because those heteronormative men and their kids are struggling with their sexuality by bashing gay people.
   My friend is superstraight guy, and he doesn't hate gay people. He told me those men who bashing gay people are gay themselves. Straight man will never be offended by gayness because he can't experience that.

7. No one cares about this garbage any more. People today have too much other stuff on there plate, like how am I going to pay my bills with this low paying job, or what do I do if I get evicted from my home, How am I going to pay for my student loans, or how do I stay healthy in this current covid environment. Just to name a few. As far as your sexual orientation or your problems with race no one has time for this stuff anymore. It is all about survival and getting through each day.

8. I challenge anyone who makes fun of this man cuz that's what he is play a game of one-on-one with him you'll find out how quick and how tough he is in case you haven't noticed hockey is a very very violent sport good luck to you I wish you the best in your career Luke

9. I Came out Straight it was a big Shock too everyone

10. Its not all me, me, me. Nobody cares about anyone elses sexual preferences. Enough of this BS

11. No comment – try it on. Privacy was a thing.

12. Language doesn't need to change, he just needs to grow thicker skin.

13. Wow! He's mature beyond his 19 years. Best wishes to him and full support.

14. Freak

15. Handsome.

16. They gonna beat him up on that hockey rink 😳🥺

17. By the way he speaks..everyone already knew he was gay ..i mean this guy is limp wrist for sure

18. Hockey really is the best!!!!

19. Good for him. 👏💜👍

20. It’s your choice

21. Who cares

22. Who cares really why even bring it up wtf

23. Good for him!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾 That takes courage, especially in such sports as hockey and football.

24. Glad he’s figured out how to feel like a victim, that’s an essential part of virtue signaling to the radical left wing.

25. No one's interested in a guy liking d'cks. Never heard of him. Don't make a big deal out in the public. It's shameful.

26. The guy isn’t in the NHL yet, he’s still working on that. That’s not misleading at all.
    Besides really no one gives a sh__.

27. Who cares. Just play hockey.

28. why are people like him getting praise for being gay like what’s so special about liking someone

29. Just another soft sensitive liberal puss

30. Brave, bold move

31. Butt pirates

32. Yeah and calling people Nig#!$r, But I don't nobody doing that. SMDH.

33. Wow he looks older than 19

34. Good for him! No one should be ashamed of being gay in these days!

    I just hope he doesn't get pucked by the haters in hockey!

35. Democrats make us accept evil things; abortions– gayness— wars—. Wake up. When you vote left, you are voting for those evils to be done in society.

36. Some people like homosexuality and some people don't like homosexuality and that is OK because we all have the right to have our own opinions.

37. Luke hasn't actually played in the NHL yet, he's still playing for the Calgary Hitmen in the WHL. After last season's disappointing 2-4-6 in 15G he'll probably not be joining the big club in Nashville next season either. He does have a 3 year NHL contract, not bad for a 3rd round draft pick. 2-4-6 in 15 G for a stay-at-home efenceman are good numbers but the 15G is what hurts his chances for a Preds roster spot.

38. You'll notice as you read the comments that the Christian Right are the ones hating, inulting and showing uncaring indifference. Typical "love thy neighbour" hypocrites acting as if his coming out is a personal afront to them.

39. Bunch of attention whres capitalizing on libtardism

40. At this point who really cares.so many ppl are coming out.somat this point.u can really say…..im happy for them.it want be the first or the last guy coming out who they are.keep doing u all day long… …. …..

44. Great publicity stunt

45. He does not look 19

46. I love that this is not a big deal anymore.
