The homophobes are everywhere in the NFL. Just ask Michael Sam, a top college football player who wasn't quite good enough to make the cut in this year's NFL season, but was good, or famous, or famously gay, or something enough, to be GQ'sMan of the Year:
The athlete won the award despite having not yet played an on-season game in the NFL. He was cut from the Rams squad in August, but was later picked for a Dallas Cowboys practice team, only to be dropped again in October. 
When asked by TMZ why he thought he was not on the roster of an NFL team, Sam said; 'I think I was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year last year ... so I don't think it had to do with talent.'
Oh, wait. Did I say Sam was a football player? I meant to note that he came out as a homosexual man in college and would have been the first openly homosexual player in the NFL had he made the cut. He also said that he wanted to be judged on his abilities as a player, but invited a camera crew over to his house during the NFL draft, where he kissed his boyfriend on-camera, and nearly did a reality show with Oprah.
But it was his football skills he wanted people to focus on.
Fortunately, Sam realized his "error," and went to Twitter to "clarify" what he meant:
He wrote: 'Despite what headlines you may read, I’ve never said and have never believed that I am being kept out of the league.
'I know I have talent to play in the NFL and I look forward to getting an opportunity once again to prove that I can help a team win.' 
Hey, did Tim Tebow ever win GQ's Man of the Year award? He actually did play in the NFL, and brought his first team to the playoffs. Since it's pretty clear Sam is getting the award for helping to make homosexuality a social norm -- something many in the GQ crowd consider good for society -- I wonder if Tebow's ever done anything to help society.
Oh, that's right. He has. Quite often. But I guess living out one's Christian values in a way that empowers people is less cool with the GQ crowd than coming out as gay and using it for self-promotion.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

Christian baker must make ‘wedding’ bakes for gay couples, court rules

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
