I respect everybody\u2019s choices,\u201d Only one player refused to participate at Pride Night, he said.<\/p>\n<p>You can imagine the hysterics Provorov\u2019s apostasy sparked among the enlightened sports commentariat. TSN\u2019s Pierre LeBrun <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PierreVLeBrun\/status\/1615555931453939712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> Provorov \u201cobviously does not respect \u2018everyone.\u2019 If he did respect everyone, he would have taken part in warm-up and worn the Pride Night jersey. Don\u2019t hide behind religion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cdon\u2019t hide behind religion\u201d Jibe is one the most ignorant and lazy smears. It\u2019s a favorite of bullies who act like they can bore into the souls of the blasphemers. It\u2019s bad enough that LeBrun contends that the only possible reason someone might be disinclined to celebrate same-sex marriage or the sweeping \u201c+\u201d (I wonder if Lebrun can explain it coherently?) deep-rooted bigotry. However, these amateur theologians claim that dissenters can be found in \u201chiding\u201d behind faith, they\u2019re not only arguing that religion is a mask for bigotry but that no genuine faith could possibly have a problem with the cultural norms he adopted about five minutes ago.<\/p>\n<p>Many Orthodox faiths, such as Russians, Orthodox Jews and Catholics, Muslims, Lutherans and Muslims, believe same-sex relationships to be sinful. For centuries, their adherents believed it. An individual of good faith can \u201crespect\u201d others \u2014 they can even respect people for taking a stance \u2014 without celebrating their choices. In a truly open and diverse society, we don\u2019t demand everyone abandon their tradition and critical thinking to skate lockstep in a rainbow flag. Dear Lord, it\u2019s such vacuous virtue signaling. <\/p>\n<p>Because it shouldn\u2019t be forgotten that the LGBTQ+ movement encompasses an entire open-ended ideological agenda, not merely the ability of gay people to live in peace or marry. For example, some Flyers spent time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/web\/news\/nonbinary-youth-joins-philadelphia-flyers-for-pride-night\/c-340061240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">celebrating<\/a> The accomplishments of a \u201cnonbinary\u201d 13-year-old. Now, as an old-fashioned atheist, I don\u2019t care who you sleep with, but I still cling to the antiquated notion that humans have immutable biological characteristics and that objective truths can\u2019t be wished away. I believe that the 13-year-old child is a victim to a distorted, destructive and trendy pseudoscience. LeBrun and others like him will normalize this quackery, while still promoting the idea of \u201ctolerance.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Most of the National Hockey League press also groused that hypocrite John Tortorella, a long-time figure in the NHL, hadn\u2019t suspended Provorov for his sins. Tortorella was the coach for the U.S. national hockey team and threatened anyone who refused the national anthem to be benched. A decision he regrettably regretted. The obvious difference is that those players weren\u2019t asked to endorse the lifestyle choices of strangers, but were voluntarily representing <em>the United States \u2014 <\/em>and every person in it \u2014 at international tournaments.\u00a0It is amazing that so many people cannot tell the difference between the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hockey player dissents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":831,"featured_media":1809562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[7118,6919,15449,5024],"class_list":["post-1809559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-doesnt","tag-federalist","tag-ribbon","tag-wear"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/831"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1809559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1809562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1809559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1809559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1809559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
