Football Player Chooses Global Pride Day To Voice Opposition To Gays

Edmonton wide receiver Christion Jones tweeted out his opposition to gay and lesbian relationships on Saturday, as people across the world celebrated Global Pride Day.

"Man ain't suppose to be with a man. A women is not supposed to be with another women," he wrote.

The tweet was quickly condemned as hateful by people on Twitter. But Jones stood by his comments, sending out over 50 tweets responding to his detractors over five hours.

"I STAND ON WHAT I SAY. Regret nothing. Apologize to who???," he wrote.

Reached on Sunday morning, a team spokesperson told CBC News they were aware of the tweets and working on a response.

The Canadian Football League did not immediately return CBC News' request for comment.

Jones, originally from Alabama, came to Edmonton in August 2019 following a trade with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

r36 Black straight men (and women) also have a history of homophobia; they perpetuate patriarchal oppression against gay men, and benefit from it. I could make a list here of Black straight people, including celebrities, who've said needlessly nasty things about gay men, to say nothing of the many shockingly cruel hate crimes they have perpetrated against us, but I don't want to pass the whole night in front of the computer making the list.

So, again, why do white gays get so much hate but black straights do not?

All that your post makes clear is what I already know: that wokeshits like you have a hate boner against white gay men that you don't against black straight people, even though the latter are MUCH more hateful than the former.

Can you imagine one of those Queer Eye guys or any other White Gay with a public platform taking the June 19th to say stuff like, "black people shouldn't exist?"

No.

Can you imagine a prominent black straight taking LGBT Day to say that gay people shouldn't exist? Yes, because that is what just happened.

And yet, wokeshits like r36 want to convince us that "white gay men" have perpetuated homophobia while saying nothing about the hate speech that constantly comes out of the mouths of black straights against gay men and lesbians, presumably because it thinks black homophobia is no biggie; gay racism is shedding bloods on the streets, black homophobia is alright and if you think about, it's justified! That's what wokeshits think deep down.

Honey, it hasn't eve been 40 years that American gay men have been allowed to admit in public that they're gay without being sent immediately to jail under anti-sodomy laws that were enforced everywhere in the country. GTFO here with his anti-historical nonsense that white gay men are a major source of racism in America. Gay men are like 5% of the population and are more marginalized from public life than black people are.

He was pretty popular with both the white and black Democrats, of course Republicans didn't like him but they don't like any Democrats, so maybe before you go labeling people as racist you make sure what you know what you are talking about.

R62, your "a lot of power" is just a ridiculous argument in today's America, really. After all, it was all our power as white gay men that caused the government to jump right on funding for AIDS research just when people started dying, all our power as white gay men that sweepingly granted marriage equality as soon as we demanded it, and it was all our power as white gay men that caused the Supreme Court to rule against gays being fired from a job just for being gay--and that two weeks ago! I know, we should have gotten on that sooner, since all our white gay power gets us whatever we want whenever we want it, right down to basic fundamentals.

Plenty of blacks with power have squandered it while whining they have none. Do you really think that if blacks had no power they'd be able to rally mobs of whites to March down the streets in their towns shouting BLM agenda? Blacks with power, who have earned comfortable livings with plenty of influence, have a powerful enough platform to convince the rest of us that blacks, guess what, have no power. Blacks run entire cities these days. Baltimore & Chicago are practically run exclusively by blacks, from city council to police depts to mayoral administrations to DA offices, all complaining about "systematic" racism & oppression while being the system, and look at the violence & crime in those areas. Blacks can get coworkers fired because they object to another coworkers tone or use of certain words! So really, your argument about all our power as white gay men, and your own, needs to be brought into balance.
