    Easy to say when it's not your life being threatened. These countries are not America where you can peacefully protest... they live in places where their lives and family's lives are at risk just for existing.

    You are wrong for saying that in some cultures once they find that you are gay the government will persecute you they kill you. So before you speak of nonsense know their culture and their political laws.

    I am so tired of hearing about LGBTQ. We have Americans without healthcare or food. The LGBT community as a whole needs to go back to being the minority voice that it really is. I’m all for citizens having equal rights, but I am tired of hearing about this and seeing it in everything.

    on one perspective its procreative, but for the majority of individuals of protestant and catholicism they are forced to believe in ways, and have been encentivized to be radical with it. of it, really has only been used for other things, and for its history of both, only used for some other thing, than its beliefs.

    Some of them might be a bit slower learning at playing the sport than other people and some of them might see the sport differently, right they might like somebody that might be autistic. You might give the rules, but they might see it in a different way they might not understand or, they might understand but they might be hearing it in a different way which you know comes across as weird and strange and I guess that’s why they don’t get picked I don’t know what the reasoning is and I don’t really care because it doesn’t matter how the person follows the rules. It doesn’t matter how they hear or follow the rules. You know they understand what you’re saying is that they just might understand it a little bit differently. And I guess that could be enough to have whoever is in charge of that sport say say to that person “heck with you you’re not playing on the league no, you don’t seem to understand our rules properly so we’re not gonna have you play on the league, but we can’t have you Playing “ And it’s not because they don’t understand it’s the people who were in charge of the sport who don’t understand right they are the ones who are so stupid. They’re the ones who are dumb not the people with autism or anybody else who has a mental illness or disorder you know.
