When Tradition and Taunts Collide: Gay Hockey Fans Criticize Garden

Then this guy really won’t like football, what with we call Tony Romo. (Yes...it rhymes with ‘Romo’.)

[Into the Vortex]

Who gives a puck?

[illiac]

If they can’t stand the heat......they have a choice to NOT attend the hockey matches .....

[the invisib1e hand]

“This is a place where I grew up, and I never really felt uncomfortable at the Garden,”

A "gay man" not feeling comfortable in a garden? What's up with this?

[CIDKauf]

Yea right...if I’m ever in a gay bar, how do you think they’ll treat me?

[longtermmemmory]

What is really upsetting to the fetishist is the fact that his practice of playing with other men’s penises is not accepted by normal society.

There THAT is what is really upsetting “him”.

[Joe Boucher]

Oh no, the horror.
Gays feeling less than welcome somewhere?

[Teacher317]

Uhhhh.... "Homo" is short for "homosexual". It does not contain any value judgments whatsoever.

If the gentleman believes that the word "homosexual" is a derogatory term, then he must not like homosexuals very much. He ought to sue himself for gay hatred.

Of course, this is more about a play for money, using the gay card, and continuing to put the false perception of widespread anti-gay bias into the media. It is nothing more.

[trisham]

If I take a friend who is also gay who, for lack of a better term, is not as masculine

Unintentional humour alert.

As opposed to the WNBA games from I what I gather which are the exact opposite.

[50mm]

The NY Slimes is just preparing the way for Canada-style criminal penalties for “hate” speech. “Hate” speech is defined as any speech the left loonies don’t like.

[longtermmemmory]

one less dangerous person to worry about at a family oriented event.

[Mark was here]

Red Wing fans would never be so uncouth.

[Mark was here]

Forgot the obvious sarcasm tag.

[50mm]

Red Wing fans would never be so uncouth.

Seeing octopi thrown onto the ice qualifies as uncouth to most.

[50mm]

Too late!

[lilylangtree]

Wanting warm fuzzies at a truly, tough masculine sport just doesn’t go together.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Gay man surprised by immaturity of hockey crowd.......wow..........who cares?

[Bernard]

“Ho-mo Lar-ry!”

Shouldn't the chant be something that rhymes? I still remember "Mean Gene the Dancing Machine"; "Gene the Fancy Stepper" just doesn't stir the crowd the same way.
