Never looked at it that way, but just because we may have contributed to the locker room banter doesn't mean we can't admit it was wrong and move on. Everyone deserves the chance to be happy! Good for you for taking a stand and pointing out what's right! I've been married over 20 years and if a gay couple wants to get married, why shouldn't they have the chance to be as miserable as straight, long-suffering married couples? By the way--good luck with the upcoming nuptials. Very good point there jt.

I’ve been married over 20 years and if a gay couple wants to get married, why shouldn’t they have the chance to be as miserable as straight, long-suffering married couples?

By the way–good luck with the upcoming nuptials.

I knew about the bus honking after road wins - I asked the bus driver why he did that in college. Greyhound bus drivers do it too when they leave from a stopover... Learned that on the bus from Montreal to Winnipeg my freshman year (Air Canada and NWA were on strike in 98 - The only way to school was train or bus). About some of the anti-gay comments we see around... It's funny how they say gays are the lowest scum of the earth, but they are the first ones hootin and hollering when two girls make out at a bar or they see girl on girl porn... I guess we are more liberal in QC than in other provinces/states... Heck we have a gay village in Montreal and the food there is great! Most of us here know at least one gay or lesbian, and it doesn't bother us one bit. I have a few gay friends... a couple of whom play/have played for the women's national hockey team...

Great tradition. No way the other team ever hears the honks. Here's a few other baseball comments to fall off the couch and smack your head on the floor for: http://bit.ly/3zGlOS you must’ve been my recent tweet regarding our win on the weekend.
