I adore it as a member of the LGBT community and find it's a great sign that Calgary, together with the rest of the world, is (becoming) so progressive.
Now there are always the sentiments like how the changing of the profile picture and the social media campaigns are shoving it in peoples' faces, blah blah blah, wah wah, whine whine complain. To which I always think it's nice to have representation and equality when straight people have always had it. And yeah, I understand hockey is just hockey, and those comments about how these organizations should just stick to what they're good at.
But people treat sports like religion and it bleeds into our personal lives. The Flames have been outstanding role models and I greatly appreciate it.
