Well, another day, another way the National Hockey League has found to disappoint me. At this rate I'm no longer even surprised. Just sad. Very very sad.

ANYWAYS, for those interested, and looking for some bright spots today, here is a by no means comphrensive list of NHL players who have been actively vocal and demonstrative in their support of the LGBTQA+ community, who have attended Pride parades, or in other ways have proven to at least try to be allies. Some might surpise you. They did me as I looked into this (Brad Marchand? Mark Schiefle? yes!) (I'd rather focus the energy on these guys than those who don't deserve my time, fandom, or money for their apparel):

❝ me? no i don’t think i’m—i mean. yeah sometimes i think about what it’d be like to kiss guys but i’d never…come on, everyone thinks about it a little bit right? ❞ from @televisionrotsyourbrain

“Mmm, ah’m gonna go wit’ a hard no on that one.” Angel couldn’t help the smirk that crossed his features, head tilted a little. He would maybe have agreed with the guy, maybe, if that hadn’t been the exact same argument that he had with himself when he was alive. When he had first started realizing that he liked men, and would much rather kiss Bobby that sat three seats down from him in Catholic school then think about the fact that Patricia had started ‘blossoming into a woman’ or whatever the fuck his dad tried to tell him and his brother once they were teenagers.

He would have thought that everyone had been just a little gay, if not for the vile homophobia he had endured from his family. And hey, maybe they were covering it up. Maybe they did think about kissing boys, and that was why they got so up in arms. But maybe they hadn’t. Because Anthony Giordano, not once, had thought about kissing girls. There was no way everyone was a little bit gay if everyone was also not a little bit straight. Them’s were the rules.

He's leaning in towards the other, hands on his hips as he bent just slightly at the waist, raising an eyebrow. “How often yeh’ thinkin’ about kissin’ boys, exactly?” He dares to be bold, as he often has no boundaries, taking a finger and bringing it under the other’s chin to raise it slightly, only a few inches separating their faces at this point. “Maybe yeh’ should go ahead and test it out. See if yeh’ disgusted by kissin’ a guy like me, or if it makes yeh’ feel a little weak in th’ knees.”

Theresa is considered the mom of the Spice District, Anthony Sr. sits on their stoop with a cigarette and espresso daily and talks shit to all of the neighborhood kids (he says it builds character but he really just thinks it’s funny)

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT MAGDALENE OF NAGASAKI Feast Day: September 28 (G. Roman Calendar), October 20 (Augustinian Calendar)

Magdalene of Nagasaki was a Japanese Christian who served as a translator and catechist for the Augustine Recollect missionaries. She became a tertiary of the Order of Augustinian Recollects.

Born in Nagasaki in the year 1611 during the Tokugawa Shogunate under Ieyasu's son, Hidetada, Magdalene was the daughter of a Christian couple martyred about 1620. With the arrival of the Augustinian Order in 1623, Magdalene served as an interpreter for the friars Francis of Jesus Terrero and Vincent of Saint Anthony Simoens. She became a tertiary of the Order of Augustinian Recollects in 1625 during the reign of Hidetada's eldest son, Iemitsu.

Magdalene taught catechism to the young, sought alms for the poor, and encouraged the people in times of persecution. In 1632, the two Augustinian friars, who had been her spiritual counselors, were burned alive. After the martyrdom of her counselors, she apprenticed herself to two other Augustinians, Melchior of Saint Augustine and Martin of Saint Nicholas. When these two friars were also put to death, she turned to Giordano Ansaloni de San Esteban, a Dominican.

She sought refuge with other Christians in the hills of Nagasaki, where she baptized the young and visited the sick in 1629.

Seeing so many apostatize, some time later, attired in her Augustinian habit, Magdalene turned herself into the authorities and declared herself a follower of Jesus Christ. She died on October 15, 1634 at the age of 23, after thirteen days of torture, suffocated to death and suspended upside down in a pit of offal on a gibbet (called 穴吊るし - ana-tsurushi). The pit was filled with water and she drowned in the end.

After death, her body was cremated and her ashes scattered in Nagasaki Bay. Magdalene of Nagasaki was beatified by Pope John Paul II on February 18, 1981, in Manila, and canonized on October 18, 1987, at the Vatican among the 16 Martyrs of Japan.
