LGBTQ+ 'Pride' is totalitarian

This past Saturday night, the New York Rangers National Hockey League (NHL) team did something almost unbelievable. Though scheduled to wear LGBTQ "Pride" jerseys during pregame warmups, not one member of the team did so.

Another recent example of defying LGBTQ+ "Pride" jersey demands in the NHL – which is run by people who are as governed by cowardice as those who run Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association – was a player for the Philadelphia Flyers, Ivan Provorov, who refused to wear a "Pride" jersey 10 days earlier.

As reported by Fox News:

"Provorov refused to participate in pregame warmups where players wore Pride-themed jerseys and wielded hockey sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape. 'I respect everyone,' he told reporters after they won the actual game against the Anaheim Ducks. 'I respect everybody's choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.'"

Provorov is Russian Orthodox. (Question: has one Protestant or Catholic NHL player refused to wear a "Pride" jersey?)…

Most people in Sodom and Gomorrah were not homosexuals. Lot’s wife, Lot’s Sons in Law, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, etc. However they received the same judgment because they “went along” with the Drag Queen Story Hours, Man Boy Love Associations, LGBTQI, etc. BTW…we now live in Sodom.

Moral of the Story: Don’t be a Sodomite

Luke 17: 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

I remember when the gay line was “we just want to marry”. Now it is “in your face all time”.

The idea that "not wearing a "Pride" shirt is bigoted" is fallacious because it assumes that everyone who doesn't wear a Pride shirt is bigoted and that their beliefs or actions are motivated by prejudice. This is a false generalization and an unfair attribution of motive, as there may be various reasons why someone chooses not to wear a Pride shirt, including personal preference, comfort, or a lack of resources, rather than bigotry. Additionally, wearing a Pride shirt doesn't necessarily guarantee that someone is not bigoted or prejudiced, and conversely, not wearing one doesn't automatically make someone so. In order to assess someone's beliefs or actions, it's necessary to consider the context and their behavior, rather than relying on outward appearances.

Also:

Ad Hominem: Attacking the person, rather than the argument itself.

Straw Man: Misrepresenting someone's argument to make it easier to attack.

False Dilemma: Presenting only two options as the only possible outcomes, when there are more options available.

Hasty Generalization: Reaching a conclusion based on insufficient evidence.

Slippery Slope: Assuming that one event will inevitably lead to another, without evidence to support the claim.

Circular Reasoning: Assuming the conclusion in the premise of an argument.

Begging the Question: Assuming the answer to the question being asked in the argument itself.

False Analogy: Comparing two things that are not similar enough to support the argument.

Non Sequitur: Drawing a conclusion that doesn't logically follow from the premise.

Ad Populum: Appealing to the emotions, prejudices, or desires of a group, rather than making a rational argument.

I remember when it was “we just want to be left alone” . When they got that they wanted to force gay marriage on society.

[Rurudyne]

I remember when the lie was that they just wanted to be left alone.

Homosexual acts should have remained illegal everywhere. The should be made illegal again.

“Though scheduled to wear LGBTQ “Pride” jerseys during pregame warmups, not one member of the team did so”

“not one member of the team did so”

Like I have been saying about trannies in sports. If the rest of the team members (or opposing team members) “REFUSED” to participate, then this crap would END!

They’re lucky we don’t throw them off rooftops like muzzies do.

And if you disagree, you are considered bigoted. The alphabet crowd and their supporters are nothing but bullies.

... Sodom and Gomorrah ...

Two cities that (considering the time and place) could not have had more than a few thousand population.

What we have now is an international empire of Sodomy.

The idea that "not wearing a "Pride" shirt is bigoted" is fallacious because it assumes [...]

Don't wish to dispute any of your statements, but would rather wish only to point out the most-efficient argument:

The onus is upon the claimant to prove his thesis.

So the people demanding that someone wear such a jersey must first prove that NOT wearing it is somehow bigoted.

They, in turn, would then probably retort, "But why don't you want to wear it?"

The correct response to such a question is ALWAYS, "Why SHOULD I wear it?"

"To show that you are not a bigot!"

"But how does wearing such a jersey show that I am not a bigot - and why do I even have to, suddenly, show that I am not a bigot? Why should I have to prove anything?"

If they don't take recourse to any other ultimately fallacious arguments, they will reply, "When someone asks you do something to prove that you aren't a bigot, you are then obliged to do so - otherwise, not doing it proves you are a bigot."

That is, of course, an absurd assertion - but, just for fun, one could then produce a "necrophile pride" t-shirt and demand that they wear it.

Suppose Christians tried to force people to wear crosses or fish symbols and accused anyone who wouldn’t of anti-Christian hatred and bigotry, saying they should lose their jobs, their reputations, and be publicly scorned.

[Monterrosa-24]

So much of the “bullying” that the trendy set pretends to worry about is actually bullying by the LGBTQP movement to anyone who stands up for their Christian beliefs and exercises their first amendment rights.

Now it is “in your face all time”.
And boy, is it FUGLY!
Things would work well if they’d get a room and STFU.

[teeman8r]

i will wear a rainbow shirt showing God’s promise to man...

but then i might get kicked out of the place.

I remember the fag plea: "We just want to be left alone."

Once we concede to the monster in one issue, he's going to use it to devour us. Blax. Fags. Crimigants.

It's the ancient "..nose in the tent.." parody.

The only difference between the American left and communist totalitarianism is opportunity. All leftists want to control speech and eventually thought. Thus, if you treat gays in your daily life just as you treat heterosexuals, it is not enough. You must go much further. You must express "pride" in gays and lesbians – and not in just gays and lesbians, but in the bisexual, the transgender, the "queer" and the nonbinary. You must not only say, but think, "I am proud of people who consider themselves neither male nor female" – as if such mental illness is an achievement.

OMG - people are starting to understand what's happening... and starting to fight back.

[Vaquero]

They know that they’re a protected specie and that ain’t gonna happen. They are secure in their fagdom and will continue to push the envelope

[antidemoncrat]

I remember when they first came out of their closets and said “just leave us alone to engage in our chosen life style”.

[gnickgnack2]

I remember when they only wanted abortion for the first trimester.

Have you ever seen two jets dogfighting? The strategy is always to try to get behind the other guy. That's how you fire on him and win the fight.

It's the same principle used when arguing with a liberal. They always try to maneuver you into a position where you have to explain yourself to them, or convince them of something. That's the point of accusations and 'dueling questions'. Once you have to try to convince them, they're in your six, and you've lost.

As you said, as soon as they accuse you of something, the correct response is "convince me". Usually they will either reply with another question, or make one or two lame statements followed by a question. This is them trying to get in your six. Never let them. Always make them have to convince you. (And PS, never let them do either one.) More people need to learn this.
