I always look thankfully but skeptically at when big businesses do their whole "gay pride" marketing stuff. The test of how legit it is is how they respond to any pushback. The NHL has failed miserably in this regard. From showing pride to making it explicitly optional for the players, which I'm fine with, to banning even personal choice presentations of it. They try to wrap it up into other things too but the catalyst was showing support for LGBT people. The language of onerous burden being " a Player (or Players) is required to be in close proximity to any groups or individuals visibly or otherwise clearly associated with such Special Initiative(s)" e.g. being near gay people or people openly supporting gay people is just bone chilling.
