James Reimer is fully within his rights to not support LGBTQ+ lifestyle, in a free society he should not be demonized for having religious beliefs. More importantly, I don't think he should be put in a position where he has to defend his beliefs in order to play hockey.

I don't agree with his religious beliefs. I 100% agree that he should be free to have those beliefs and practice his religion. It is about personal freedom and autonomy - based on his statement he does not hate gay people, he doesn't think they are less than human - it simply goes against his beliefs. If the NHL wanted to celebrate families that have had children outside of marriage, should he also have to comply with that?

Lmao that is by no means the same thing, my guy. That's largely a choice and not a marginalized identity.
