This is Janne Puhakka, the first openly gay hockey player in Finland. Yesterday, he was murdered by his partner. I know he’s not a big celebrity, but I just want people to know who he was. He was brave and a role model to many. He was a son. He had his whole life ahead of him. I’m sorry, I’m extremely upset right now.

The 66-year-old man was his partner of 10 years. They got together when Janne was 19 and 56. I can’t imagine how his family is feeling. I don’t want to add to the speculation but it’s just devastating all around.
