    self cancel is a thing, right?

    Most of these people don't realize how backwards their beliefs are and they underestimate the support in the community.


    It’s always great when shitheads earn consequence. I truly hope the worst for them, and it’s great when society helps.

    Bad joke (apologies) but does this song get cancelled based on the title or do we still listen to the lyrics?

     I honestly can’t tell where the lines are anymore, if there even are any, lol.

    Maybe if they shot a music video of this song in front of the Stonewall Inn?

    Why would this song 'get cancelled' for imploring someone to be honest?

    Context is a thing, you know.

    In all honesty I didn’t know she was gay, but did know she was a big supporter of the community and feminism in general. That said, nothing changes in how I look at her, just to be clear, lol, and thanks for the information (“The more you know” and all that, lol).

    It's funny watching people read a headline, and then react emotionally without having the facts.  I expect that from Cons, but am seeing it here more and more often.
    I am not defending this woman, but that headline is wildly inaccurate.  She did not refuse service to LGBTQ+ customers.  She went out of her way to say she supports LGB people, it is more the T she has a problem with. She also said she has never knowingly turned away a transgender person.  What she said was she would rather not do business with people who do not identify as a man or woman. And she didn't even say you have to identify as the gender you were assigned at birth, just that you identify as male or female. 
    But again, I'm not defending her. I think she should serve people who identify as "they".  And charge them double since she had to provide services to 2 people...

    That's funny.

    I disagree with sexuality being fluid.  If it were then we would stop breeding, which come to think of it might not be so bad?

    What a sham…So not fair for the biological woman competitors.  Would love to hear how anyone can  think this man’s inclusion in woman’s swimming is acceptable and celebrated.

    SHE, has been an international swimming phenom since 2012. Would not someone have made some kind of allegation or accusation between then and now? Long ago? Nothing. Not a whisper until last year.......

     I'm assuming locker rooms for women/girls are generally set up the same as for men/boys. Open showers,  locker spaces,  etc. If that is true, then surely she would have been outed long ago, no?

    And I assume the Olympics are a lot more strict than the NCAA. She couldn’t hide it for 10 years. I hadn’t heard the rumor until last night, but I see zero merit in it.

    To be fair, it is extremely unfair for other swimmers to have to compete against Ledecky.
