Joe.My.God just reported that Toronto Maple Leaf GM Brian Burke's (above right) openly gay son Brendan Burke was killed in a storm-related automobile accident in Indiana.
You may remember my post from November when the elder Burke publically and vocally supported his gay son's "coming out" in the press. It was a heartwarming father-and-son story in a world where too many of those situations turn out horribly.
And now this. I am just so incredibly saddened by the news. And what's worse is the fact that some right-wing Christofacist will proclaim that Brendan was struck down by God for being a wicked Gay.
Rest in peace Brendan. You touched so many of us by sharing your story - and you left this world a better place. I was proud to have you on my team.
