A PRO ATHLETE LEADING A PRIDE PARADE 🏳️‍🌈 Tremendous respect for Milwaukee’s Luke Prokop and the barriers he’s breaking 💥

Last year, he served as grand marshal of Wisconsin’s largest Pride celebration.

In 2021, the Admirals defenseman made HISTORY as the first NHL-contracted player to publicly come out as gay 🏳️‍🌈

Then, in 2023, as he took the ice for his first game with the Admirals, he did it AGAIN — becoming the American Hockey League’s first openly gay athlete!

It matters even more that he’s doing this as a hockey player because there are currently ZERO out players in the NHL. ZERO!!!

PROKOP PRIDE ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
