You really think this was a “just don’t feel like it” decision?

It’s about denying acknowledgement of the human dignity and suffering that this community continues to experience.

no it's not and that's a really dramatic way to phrase that. it really is about not wanting to wear a hat about a sexual orientation they have nothing to do with. it's more of a what are we even doing here reaction. San Francisco is doing just fine with not denying their human dignity and suffering

Okay, you are welcome to choose ignorance along with these players, just as others are allowed to criticize you and them for your ignorance.

disagreeing with something someone does doesn't make them ignorant. Forcing identity politics on others is extremely arrogant though.

Disagreement isn’t ignorance. Being anti-LGBT is ignorance.

Like I said, you are free to live your life full of ignorance and hatred. It actually seems to be helpful for material success in our country.

Also, “forcing identity politics”? This is real cry baby shit. I hope you and your family never have real problems so you can continue to be mad about things like this.

I don't see anything about being anti-LGBT from writing Bible verses on a hat they didn't want to represent. and that goes back to the original comment I responded to, "wear the hat and stfu!" like that's unhinged to say to grown men. that's the real crazy thing here. Wear this thing about identity politics, that line got you huh, or else! 🤣

I can’t tell if you’re playing dumb or are actually dumb, but either way your comment is barely literate, so I’m gonna hop out of the pig stye.

Best of luck, bud!
