Brock McGillis receives standing ovation from NHL players after speaking out against homophobia
A post shared by Brock McGillis (@brockmcgillis33)Ex-hockey jock Brock McGillis is in the midst of a 100-day speaking tour with hockey teams talking about the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion. While the former college and semi-pro star has undoubtedly delivered many poignant messages over the last three months, his most impactful speech might’ve come earlier this week, when he addressed the Toronto Maple Leafs. In just 55 seconds, McGillis explains why language is important, and the harm that homophobic slurs can cause.
