This is so Fantastic, good job guys. Looking forward to less homophobia in sports and stronger teams because of it.

And if you are gay, you are gay, and that is ok!

When I think Parros, I think "porn 'stache", but I'm glad to see him backing You Can Play.

parros also attended princeton university, so i'm pretty sure he's quite intelligent

Тьфу, блять, пидорьё позорное. Ебите там сами себя паравозом. Всех пидоров согнать в резервации! Или просто сжечь!

Wow, the image of George Parros into this video is very strong. He's a great enforcer and enforcers are stereotyped like redneck hillbillies. Now having a guy like George Parros and even Brandon Prust, who represent everything about 'conservative' and 'traditionalistic' way to play hockey, saying they don't care if you're gay or straight, that is strong.

If a player on the Anaheim Ducks admits he's gay and someone come with a gay slur to him, I hope Parros beats the living crap out of him!
