Gay Athletes Planning Protests Over Indiana Law Around Final Four Mar 31, 2015, By RICK KLEIN

Several prominent, openly gay athletes will be among those protesting the new Indiana religious freedom law this week, despite Gov. Mike Pence’s promise to "fix" the law before the Final Four begins on Saturday, according to local activists.

Olympic diving legend Greg Louganis and former NBA player Jason Collins are among those coming to the state this week for press conferences or other public events. The effort to keep attention on the law around the college basketball showcase in Indianapolis caps a week where sports figures, including the president of the NCAA, have helped drive the national debate over a law gay-rights group view as opening the door to legalized discrimination

Amazing what 2-3% of the population can do with the media in their corner.

[eyeamok]

SO why exactly is it OK for Sodomites and Lesbians to discriminate against a Whole State?? Shouldn’t they be PROSECUTED for this Blatant DISCRIMINATION against the 1st Amendment?? Thank God for AIDS.

In the Trayvon Martin case, the left had meltdowns over stand your ground laws, even though the stand your ground law in Florida was not part of that case at all. The liberals were able to make their statement even though the allegedly offensive stand your ground laws were not an issue in the case.

Indeed. It's all a lie. That's all that comes from the left. This is just the latest fake narrative the media is running with. This type of law is nothing new and there is no reason for it to be controversial.

It’s all part of the democat strategy of the two minutes hate. /1984

Dear Indiana,

  They won't vote for conservative candidates anyway. So suck it up. Ride out the wave. And do what is right regardless.

-We the People

[LeoWindhorse]

are they planning a protest circle jerk?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Nor do they acknowledge the First Amendment.

Is this before and/or after their visits to the local bath house?

[elpadre]

let them all come and give them plenty of rope - these people make fools of them selves and our folks need to just be quiet and give them all the time they want. Stay above the fray - you did a good job with that legislation!

[Mike Darancette]

They just want a party - they will pay for this.

[Gay State Conservative]

I've decided to do an experiment.I'm gonna have a t-shirt made that says,in big letters,"It's Adam & Eve,Not Adam & Steve" and walk into a place in Boston that's a well known hangout for perverts...possibly a restaurant.I'd have to research it (not knowing where they hang out) but finding one in one of the most depraved cities on earth shouldn't be difficult.

I'm gonna have a friend along with a video camera to document the love and acceptance I enjoy.

I wonder if Freepers in other big cities could do the same kind of thing?

Greg Louganis was HIV+ when he split his head open on the diving platform and was bleeding profusely during the Seoul Olympics. Two doctors, unaware of his disease went to help him, sans any protection. Did he warn them of the danger? Nope.

[jospehm20]

I had the same thought.

[peggybac]

And we care about this why??

smh

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

One rude question. Will these gay athletes still play with their balls in Indiana?

Yes, I’m sick and tired of these whinely aholes. If they would read the law, they would find that they are making asses of themselves through their ignorance, but then, again, the liberal/sexual left don’t care about the truth.

Sad to see Louganis fall for this crap.

[GeronL]

lol

[peggybac]

[GeronL]

The Fabulous Four have announced that anyone in dire peril in Indiana is on their own!

As they appear: Amanda, Lesbian Girl, LBGT Man and Rosie the Rock.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Are they going to hold press conferences in the 19 other states that have some form of this law???

I didn’t think so.

[relictele]

Several prominent, openly gay athletes

THE POWER OF SEVERAL! ooooooooooh!

Greg Louganis is what - in his 50s and long retired as....a diver?

Who else - a never-was NBA player?

The media will draft in anyone who may have worn a pink dress shirt (males) and/or a buffalo check pattern (females).
