Michael Imperioli is taking a stand against the Supreme Court, which ruled Friday that conservative Christians have a right to refuse some business services to same-sex couples.

The "Sopranos" and "White Lotus" star declared Saturday on Instagram that he has "decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or TV show" he's ever appeared in.

Imperioli made his remarks after the Supreme Court sided with a Christian graphic artist from Colorado who didn't want to design wedding websites for same-sex couples.

Wow. He’s still big mad because they gave him the worst part in the show, an annoying, whining, smack addicted wannabe tough guy who keeps getting the other dudes in trouble!

Kind of apropos that the actor is just as stupid as the character he portrayed.

How does he plan to enforce his edict?

With queer pressure, applied by the same people that abuse personal pronouns. Nice job you got there. It'd be a shame if something happened to it.

Funny how Mr. Imperioli didn’t resign in protest over that story line. I suppose that makes him a hypocrite, and a piece of trash.

Yep, here are the 2 scenes.

Scene 1

Scene 2

How about if I just pirate them from the internet for free so you don’t accidentally get any of my bigoted money?

His statement makes clear he has no understanding of the ruling.

Well said. Great catch, DallasBiff. I watched every episode of The Sopranos. I had forgotten about that scene, but now I remember it since you mentioned it.

Nice virtue signaling, Mikey.

I’ll be happy to oblige and not watch any of your movies or shows.

Lol.
Also, another I can't figure out, is why/how SO MANY black people know some guy named "Owen".

"I was sittin' Owen the table, when my bra axed me what's goin' Owen."

Seems like almost every sentence, that are talking about Owen...

😉

“Virtue signaling like this just shows how low IQ the person is.”

Back in the 1950s there was a classic book “The Status Seekers”.

Woke zombies are status seekers.

Who knew Imperioli is omniscient? Like he knows what people watch in their homes. The arrogance is stunning; he “forbids”. LOL!
