Luke Prokop was only 19 years old when he made pro sports history.
A year after the Nashville Predators picked him in the 2020 NHL draft, Prokop told his team, his sport, and the wider world that he was gay. He is the first player under NHL contract to do so. This season, he has also bumped up to playing plenty of AHL games, making him the first out gay player at that level, one step away from the top team.
In a sport that has struggled to be at the forefront of inclusion, how are things going for Prokop? So far, excellent. No stupid chirps from opponents, nothing but support from within the organization, and a heart-warming flow of encouragement from big names and journeymen, on and off the ice.

Matthew 19:12 says God prefers same-sex marriage and confirms transgender people are born that way.🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Male or female is determined by gender located in the soul not sex characteristics.
JESUS was TRANSGENDER, a female man returning as a dark-skinned female woman in a lesbian relationship with a male woman.
Matthew 19:12 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender.
Eunuchs made that way by others were abused.
Those that choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex but opposite in gender.
❤Everyone should be welcomed to play❤
Why making a big deal of this ? They (them) want to be treated as equals, so stop treating them like did something special. EVERYBODY (else) is special…
