James Reimer s’adresse à la communauté LGBT

If we have to accept everyone, we should accept EVERYONE, not just those who we agree with. I don’t agree with him, but he’s got his right just like everyone else.
I mean, that’s kind of it. Don’t like something, don’t do it. So long as a person isn’t actively shoveling hate or trying to pass laws/rules against something they don’t like and are live and let live I don’t see a problem with it.
My initial reaction to this was fuck that guy, but, doesn’t seem like it’s hateful, he’s just not going to support it. I don’t agree with him, but also, I guess whatever?
Who cares? Can we all just go on living our lives?
People in this comment section need to comes to terms that not everybody has to think or feel like you. Get over it. He has his beliefs clearly stated, you have yours. Move the fuck on with your lives
Perfectly sfw
He is 100% in the right. He has the rights to his beliefs just like LGBTQ community and should be able to act upon on those beliefs in a safe environment just like them. As long as no violent or discriminatory action is taking place he can freely choose to do what he wants. To force your beliefs or discriminate this man because of not going along with it is exactly what the LGBTQ community and every other minority is fighting against themselves. The second anyone takes away freedom of speech or the ability to choose it becomes a slippery slope of control and who knows where it ends or what extreme actions it may cause. Once people feel harassed or unsafe they will “burrow” in a sense and surround themselves with only others of like-mind and that’s when self growth stops and the chance for extreme ideals to begin to hatch. It’s a lose lose for everyone.
Wearing or not wearing a rainbow jersey literally means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Who cares
Hey, man.
If you don’t support me, you don’t support me.
Quit hiding behind a book and religion.
Weak.
He doesn’t owe anyone an explanation
Why the hell does it say “Twitter is better” at the end?
Chappelle said it best in my opinion
“I support anyone’s right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?”
Twitter is better than what?
Did he say Twitter is better too?
I can’t help but notice that athletes who use religious beliefs as their reason for not participating in Pride nights seem to have no issue playing games on the sabbath.
Here we go again
I actually think this is a reasonable thing for him to say and do, as long as he sticks with the whole Bible thing without picking and choosing.
If he sticks with the whole Bible, all of it, that is. If he does that then, it’s not him, it’s the Bible.
If he only sticks with it on certain things but not others, well… then that’s him.
Like I’m sure no hockey playing work between sunset on Friday and Saturday, right? I mean, that being one of the commandments, that’s an easy one, right?
What I don’t understand is how people claim they have to hate gay people/can’t support them because « the Bible is the highest authority ». But then they ignore hundreds of other ridiculous things the Bible says like killing people who play with dead pigskin. If he’s going to take the Bible this seriously, how can he play on Sundays? That’s very clearly forbidden to a much greater extent than a handful of references to gay people.
I’m gay Leave the guy alone He’s not hurting anyone
I’m bi. I don’t care. If he doesn’t want to do it, ok, you do you.
I just love how christians hardcore defend the bible only when it is about the gays. Literally its one paragraph out of the WHOLE BIBLE with hundreds of pages and thousands of words. But at least he properly addressed the situation
Can we get back to the Hockey now?
It’s amazing how fast the usual suspects swung from “shut up and play” to “it’s his right”. You do realize everyone sees through your fucked up hate?
Good thing James Reimer refuses to play hockey on the Lord’s day, when He commanded us to rest.
I seriously doubt you have kindness in your heart for people who your religion says are going to hell.
I’m sure he’ll be following the bible & donating all his money to the poor, since rich men don’t get into heaven.
“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of god.” -Mark 10, Verses 21-25
To me freedom of speech works both ways. He’s not saying anything hateful just choosing not to take part in something. That’s just how it be.
The silly thing is, is that the same people who say « it makes no difference if someone wears the jersey so who cares? » are the same people who claim there’s a war on Christianity because a store clerk wished them a « happy holidays. »
It’s weird becuase gay people are real the Bible is fake
So, everyone should be welcomed…but on a night to show this community they’re welcome, you decide to sit out? Sounds like you’re not all that welcoming.
Nah. Fuck him. Hypocrite.
