Even a few homos were against what happened to Jones. They understand that people should be free to say what they want without fear of retaliation. It was his personal comment.

It's insane that "OMG" and "Horrible" caused Jones to not just be fined, but dismissed from the team until he completes sensitivity education!?!

Have we become a communist nation, where people who violate certain speech laws are forced to be brainwashed and re-programmed to what the government deems acceptable.

You have the right to boycott homos all you want. The minute you do it on your companies time, is the minute you will get fired/suspended. Being game is becoming more and more accepted by non religious people. Thats just how it is. Get over it.

The Myth of "Homophobia"

I dont believe if you speak out against something you are afraid of said thing. But homophobia is real weather you like it or not. I have seen it personally from people I have been around. I have see members of my family curl up in a ball and try to scoot their chairs away from a gay couple that was sat down next to us at a restaurant. You would have thought they had some disease that my family member would catch if they didnt scoot away from them. Also have you ever heard some people talk about gays? Homophobia is real.

Being game? I believe you meant, gay, and no, I won't "get over it." Just as I won't "get over it" about abortion or adultery or any other kind of sin.

No Christian should ever "get over it" with regards to sin.

Are you a Christian?

Also....Jones wasn't on Dolphins time. He was at his home, using his phone or pc to tweet on his personal account.

Everything you put on social network is not personal or private. Its public. Again, when you are famous and in the spotlight, you really are always on the teams time.

I am not saying get over sin. What I meant was that being gay is becoming more and more acceptable. Speaking out against it isnt.

So what are you saying? It sounds like what your saying is Christians and others should shut up and not speak out because it's acceptable. I don't want to put words in your mouth, so please explain.

I disagree. They have private lives, too. Or are you saying we're all slaves and should have no voice or identity.

It's appalling that some believe famous people shouldn't have a voice...well, a conservative one. We know there's a massive double standard at play here. Even some gays acknowledge that.

It's rapidly coming to a point where there will be no free speech, and where simply stating one's personal or especially Christian beliefs will get you fined, fired, forced to be brainwashed or worse.

But I should just get over it...
