We’ve tried to battle homophobia through riots after the Stonewall Inn was raided, through Pride parades, court battles, laws, activism and advertising campaigns. However what we haven’t tried until now is getting some male hockey players to strip naked.
It’s got to be worth a try through, right?
The hockey players in question come from the University Of Nottingham, and the video is part of the student-led projects Voice Your Rights, which seeks to look at human rights.
Our two favourite things about the video? Firstly, how much more difficult it is to play hockey when you have to use one hand to cover your genitals, and secondly, the fact the guy in goal is allowed to be naked except for major protection over his groin.
Take a look at the video below. In all seriousness though, its great to see a sports team making a stand against homophobia, and if that means showing some skin, then so be it.
