That has been my view on that community for a while. Forcing it into society only creates polarization, not integration. I’m glad you share the same view.

Very unfair to the modest gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc people trying to live life with their preferences in peace. Unfortunately, y'all are being subjected in this group that has earned a negative representation, by default, when it hardly aligns with your morals. The picture now is if you are part of the lgbtq, you are a vocal liberal, impolite, that will condemn you for not believing or accepting the hivemind. Why aren't gay conservatives equally as supported? It seems like we are indoctrinating the up and coming lgbtq to be obnoxious and defensive, creating this culture of 'pride', when many simply want to live a normal, respectful life. Y'all are being forced onto this bandwagon whether you like it or not and that is just wrong.

Tortorella? His statement was mostly-neutral. He didn't really support him, neither did he condemn him. He gave a very-sanitized response.

I do agree he could have gave more stern support for him. However he backed his player up by saying he respects his dedication to being true to himself, versus deflecting the question completely and saying “that’s on him” or some bs. He supported his player’s decision, as he should, and I respect that. It’s a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Of course he is a public figure. Why the fuck would they be interviewing him about this otherwise? He quite clearly has a platform that he uses so why wouldn't he be accountable for it?

@@jokurajunimi Accountable? For what disagreeing with you and your ilk? Platform that he “uses” ??? he said nothing about his faith...I’m not intelligent enough to discuss apparently so, bye bye!

@@jokurajunimi Nah, he’s just a guy that wants to play sports. Nothing more. Facts>feelings.

He has the right to believe what he wants, but so do I. And FUCK him for being a homophobic piece of shit. We live in the year 2023, and we shouldn't have to explain to people not to be shitty to minority groups anymore.

Lol what cereal box did you read that off of?

@@mason4966 oh like reading what’s on the side of the Pfizer vaccine box?

@@ejones6616 Vaccines work. You already got many of them I assume.

@@mason4966 🐑🐑🐑🐑 "I support the current thing"

What reason could he possible have to not wear it. Wear in religious scripture does it say "thou shalt not wear a pride flag as part thousts work uniform."

That’s why it’s a spiritual war

As much as i want to agree with the man, i just can't support someone who is a communist. Why couldn't he change his communist name to an American name? Religion is important, but let's not forget national security and just how many potential spies are within this nation. The Cold War may have ended, but the land of communism will always be an enemy. It's a shame when we coddle our enemies and grant them so much in access. May i remind yall how the japs, got detailed pictures on the USS Arizona, spies disgused as fellow Americans, disguised as our neighbors. Shame on all of u for caring more about ur religious morals than ur patriotic duty.

Curious how lgbtq is being crammed down your throat everyday?

Yea, but it’s only wrong now that white people are on the receiving end. This country was built on slavery, segregation, abuse, and many other things that you seem to be ok with, as long as it wasn’t you on the short end of the stick.

Exactly. While accusing Christianity or Church for being strict and not tolerating, they’re doing much worst. Basically go with their agenda or get cancelled, which includes people’s entire career or more.
