Can you point us to these gay-bashing, women-bashing, etc posts? Why does he have to shut up about his belief's when they are shared by other major religions and we don't demand that they stop teaching their dogma? Catholicism & Islam both believe that homosexuality and adultery are cardinal sins but we don't see the level of vitriol and abuse being hurled at them.
The event that kicked all this off was him posting a picture with a list of people that his church (along with Catholicism and Islam) believe are sinners - gays, adulterers, drunks, liars, fornicators, thief's, idolaters and atheists - and that the only way to avoid going to 'Hell' was to turn to Jesus. Terms like 'homophobic' or 'misogyny/misandry' are being used too often IMO that when a genuine hate crime occurs, it just becomes part of the background noise. Would the same level of hate be directed at him if he had left gay off the list?
The minute a Catholic or Muslim player made comments like that in the way IF did, I'm pretty sure they would get the same reaction.
