"NHL caves to bigots, let's them win"

While I didn't support the performance move anyway, this sends a message that homophobia is a big enough influence in their sport to dictate policy.

Here's the thing about rainbow capitalism, it shows that we are a large enough group that it's worth it to advertise to us.
