Oh, MAGAts. Show us on the doll where the New England Patriots hurt you with their LGBTQ+ pride flag Social Media post.

[Miles Archer]

The Patriots on Sunday released a social media post, presumably with the intention of promoting Pride Month, that included a LGBTQ+ pride flag.

"We celebrate together," the team's account on social media wrote.

That didn't sit well with thousands of conservative activists and influencers, who took to the comments to insult the football team. Several commenters threatened boycotts of the team.

@Unhinginger wrote, "You just lost a ton to Fans. Enjoy the bud light treatment."

1. Freedom goes both ways

They thump on the First and then when someone else is expressive they hate on them... Freedom of speech means you have to tolerate speech you don't like! They don't seem to get it.

3. Made a list a few years ago...

...decided I was going to write down the names of every non-heterosexual person in my life who hurt me because they weren't heterosexual.

The final list included 0 names.

I have a pretty reliable rule when it comes to how other people live their lives.

If no one is getting hurt and no laws are being broken, what they do with their lives is none of my damned business.

And unless they are messing with me or someone I care about, if they are breaking the law, that's why we have "law enforcement."

I am far from a perfect person, but I will unashamedly take a victory lap for never attempting to tell other people how to live their lives.

PART OF THIS might come from my reaction to more than a few people who tried to "FIX" me at times in my life where I either did not NEED "fixing" or CERTAINLY didn't need it from THEM.

Life's too short to live up to the expectations of, and under the rule of, people who could very well NEVER GET THEIR OWN ACT TOGETHER.

so now they (and their russian bot buddies) lumber off to the irrelevant corner
to make more meaninglessness with whine and cheezits.

4. Every team in the league posted something for Pride.

And every post had some bigoted assholes complaining and most people being cool with it.

5. "MAGA influencer" has to be one of the worst "jobs" in the world.
