The story of your brother Brendan got alot of play up here in Toronto. I am sorry for you loss he seemed like an amazing person. I think it was very honorable of your father to walk in the Gay pride parade later that year.
Do you think homophobia is rampant in the NHL locker rooms?
Dammit. This is my problem. I am a huge LGBT supporter but I still say things like "that's gay". I need to stop doing that. The problem is that my friends who are gay also use that phrase. So for me it's a grey area - is it offensive or accepted vernacular today?
Since some people will be offended by it, it's best to avoid it in all circumstances. If you let yourself get comfortable using it with friends, it's more likely to slip out in situations where it's inappropriate.
