The minor league hockey team Hershey Bears in Pennsylvania are saying no to homophobic taunting from their own fans, all because a lesbian fan had had enough. From GLAAD:
The incidents were brought to the team’s attention by Bears fan Abigail Habbert. Habbert and her partner are season ticket holders, and noticed in January that some fans were taunting opponents with anti-gay slurs, game after game. Rather than sit quietly (and really, who sits quietly at a hockey game?) Abigail spoke up. She reached out to the manager of season tickets for the Bears, who sent her complaint to the head of security for the stadium.
