TL;DR Summary

James Reimer's decision not to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey for the San Jose Sharks was a missed opportunity to embody Christ's teachings of love and acceptance. Wearing the jersey is not an endorsement of the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle, but a small token that says "you matter, and I love you too." Refusing to wear it was an act of judgment, not of sin, but people. Reimer should use this as an opportunity to reflect on who is living Jesus' teachings more closely - those who ask to be loved or those who push people away and marginalize them.
