at length on Tuesday ahead of the team's Pride night, which it holds to build"a community that welcomes and celebrates authenticity and the love of hockey."
A string of tweets promoting the event included a slideshow presentation on LGBT terminology with the caption,"Education is celebration." Giant Food is also featured as a sponsor of the event. One photo shared by the team explained that"pronouns are used to refer to someone in a way that accurately reflects their identity.” Subsequent slides went on to define gay, lesbian, transgender, cisgender, and queer.
The NHL team's Twitter even broke down the meaning of the pride progress flag, explaining that red symbolizes life, orange healing, yellow sunlight, green nature, blue serenity, and purple spirit, with black and brown representing people of color, and the pink, light blue, and white representing transgender people.
