Soccer player takes a stand

Idrissa Gueye refuses to wear PSG shirt featuring rainbow symbol - BBC Sport

 

He refused to play because they wanted him to with a shirt featuring the rainbow symbol.

Courageous stand but he is going to get accused of being bigoted.

I've read about it. We have a video about a sister who refused a similar thing.

A female football player, who is Muslim, also refused to play the “pride round” and wear the rainbow guernsey. It was a big thing to do, especially as her teammates are mostly gay and all are supportive of LGBTQIA’s and their cause. 
 

The head of the Women’s football league said they were grappling with how to do “inclusion” and not alienate faith.

There I'd a slight but distinct difference, though.  In the video, the sister is asked to purchase a piece of personal decoration.  On the other hand, this sports player is reusing to wear a work uniform. 

 

Here in the USA there are many brothers and sisters who work for EMS or fire departments.  Their uniforms display the US flag. Now, these Witnesses would not wear the US flag as personal decoration, but they do not have that same freedom with their work uniform (I'm sure someone will point out some exceptions). 

 

They passed our US flag pins at work. I declined the pin because it was not a job requirement or part of a uniform. On the other hand, as Witnesses do we have the right to dictate a work uniform? Do we have the freedom to request an alternative? What do we do if we must choose between our job or our refusal to wear a patch or logo or something we shun?

What do we do

 Some refuse to use a forever flag stamp on our letters also, I don't have an issue with that like "In God WE Trust on money! We know who we trust and we do not worship the flag image or pledge our allegiance to it!

LGBTQIA’s

What’s next, the whole alphabet?

[BLEmom]

Sometimes I just say the “Lmnop’s”. It’s easier than trying to remember other letter combo. 🤪

I know what the first five stand for, but I'm not sure about the last two. Maybe: Indecent and Abnormal?

Intersexual or Asexual 😒

[cricket246]

Those last two confuse me 🤣 Intersexuals can be straight as can asexuals, so now straight people can be a part of their rainbow too. 😐

When you are asexual, you are not interested in sex at all, no matter the gender. Intersex people are individuals born with any of several sex characteristics including chromosome patterns, gonads, or genitals that, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies". Previously known as hermaphrodites. So they cannot be straight, as they were born with both male and female characteristics.
