Blue Jays centre fielder Kevin Pillar will make a donation to two Toronto-area LGBTQ organizations as part of his apology and atonement for a homophobic slur he uttered during a game last month.

Pillar forfeited two days salary as part of his two-game suspension for the slur, which happened during a verbal confrontation with Atlanta reliever Jason Motte after a strikeout in a May 17 game. The two organizations are PFLAG, which offers support for the LGBTQ community, and You Can Play, which aims to create a safe sports environment for athletes regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Pillar has since apologized for his actions, and has vowed to involve himself in the Toronto LGBTQ community, which has just opened celebrations for Pride Month.

Pillar, who will receive sensitivity training under PFLAG’s guidance, caught the ceremonial first pitch in Thursday’s game against Yankees, which was thrown by Michelle Cherny, a member of Pride Toronto’s board of directors.

“There are still some things that are going to be done,” Pillar said recently.

“My actions didn’t just affect me, they affected this organization as well, and between me and the organization, we’re going to do our part.”
