I would rather the Flames donate $1 million to support at-risk and marginalized LGBTQ+ youth and adults in the city than doing something as performative and relatively meaningless as slapping a tiny rainbow flag on their uniforms and calling it a day.

Although I would love to see an entirely rainbow-based Flames jersey worn during warmups and auctioned off to support LGBTQ+ intiatives. That would be awesome. But it would have to be part of a larger initiative. Definitely not the equivocating #WeSkateFor thing.
