Former Real Salt Lake defender Brian Dunseth was 11 years old when a kid on the playground taunted him during a basketball game with, “At least my dad’s not gay.”
“It was devastating,” Dunseth recalled. “Not because of what he said, but that it would be used in that context, as something that I should be disgusted by.”
On Wednesday, as a TV analyst, Dunseth will participate in RSL’s first Pride Night on the broadcast of RSL’s home match against the Houston Dynamo. The event kicks off a month-long equality theme for the RSL organization. The Monarchs and Royals will also host pride nights, on and June 26 and 27, respectively.
