[[And here we thought, all they wanted, was to be left alone.]]

And that they would never ever go after anyone who disagreed with their lifestyle choice- (first thing they did was start suing to be included in organizations that had clear rules against the sin of homosexuality- and also went after anyone that wouldn’t ‘bake the cake’ so to speak

Suppose she compromises and wears a jersey with the team logo and the old generic packaging slogan, “Now With Fruit.”

The same thing happened to 7 rugby players in Sydney this week. They refused to wear a pride guernsey. The club hadn’t even informed them. They found out via the media. They were all islanders who have a strong Christian faith but also cultural beliefs around homosexuality. The club should have known that. They were stood down for that match.

.I don’t presume to know God’s plans pertaining to wolves in sheep’s clothing. I think the wolves themselves will bring about their own demise through competition for the sheep and their useful idiot status for the progressives.

“But she is a “person of color” which adds a bit of dimension to the story.”

Truth is that if she was White she wouldn’t have been benched for the game; she would have been kicked off the team.

It is if they withold her pay. Like some of the ball players who can’t play in Canada due to shot fascism. They do not get paid for the games they miss.
The game is her livelihood.

Not the same as torture and death, I’ll grant, but a ridiculous burden because of her beliefs, nonetheless.

Hope she managed her money well from previous games

Absolutely turns my stomach. The LGGBTQIA community are NAZIS. Period. I will never comply. Good for this Christian woman.
