I try not to talk too much about sexuality here, though I think most people know by now I'm gay. This story is really one of the most significant Chicago sports stories, for me personally, that I can recall in a long time. I am so proud to be a fan of both the Cubs and the Blackhawks right now. I'm not going to pretend that there's a chance that every player on both teams is comfortable with homosexuality, but the fact that the organization wants to participate in this and that some players are willing if not excited to do so says a lot about the progress we've made. That said, the pride parade isn't my cup of tea. I hope they have fun. I agree this is a great thing for both teams to do. However as a Cubs fan in STL I can only imagine some of the "jokes" I'll hear about this.
