Yep, fair enough.Change that to racist instead of homophobe, do you still feel the same way?

And maybe this would be a reasonable position to take if Ablett had stuck with his like and left it up there.I went to the Round 1 Pies Vs Cats game and was bemused when Pies fans were booing Ablett. I thought to myself he hasn’t done us wrong, so there’s no need to boo him.
However, the next time Pies vs Cats, I’ll be booing him louder than I’ve ever booed any player.
He deserves it. Once you take the almighty position of “you’re going to hell if you do .......”, I’ll boo you. Flog.
As a community, we need to stamp out people using Religion to justify their crazy views.
If he thinks he has the right to judge people, I have the right to boo people.
FWIW, I still give Dusty s**t for wanting to attack a woman with chopsticks.
Don’t act like a flog or put people down in a public forum, and I won’t boo you. Simple.

He took it down however.
Hawthorn have a huge percentage of empathetical, loving, non-judgemental people in their supporter base. Makes sense they would boo

There's a problem with simply saying that the ancient texts condemn homosexuality. They say an awful lot of peculiar things. Quite apart from the infamous injunctions in Leviticus, there's the injunction for a jubilee in Deuteronomy which demands the freeing of all slaves and the forgiveness of all debts every 50 years. Imagine everyone's mortgage would be cancelled every 50 years! I don't recall any evangelist demanding that, for all that they're into a literal interpretation of the bible. But of course the likes of Scomo or the rich US tele-evangelists are never going to argue for something like that. They pick and choose which bits of the bible they want to emphasise. Similarly, homophobia within the Islamic world is a classic case of "invented tradition". Historically, the Islamic world was far more tolerant of male homosexuality than was the west. As recently as the 1970s it was common for western gay intellectuals to hang out in North Africa for that very reason, because they were tolerated there. So to say a religion has an issue with homosexuality is problematic because it treats a religion as homogeneous, whereas no religion is.Isn’t it one in the same? How do you separate it when His religion has an issue with homosexuality
His religious views are that homosexuality is wrong based on some very ancient texts - not something his has magicked up for convenience
I don’t agree - all religions seem hypocritical to me
but it provides quite the vexing conundrum that fundamental rights to religion and a fundamental right to sexual freedom clash
However it’s not the masses that decide what is right - but a very vocal subsection that decides what is and isn’t offensive and imposes that on everyone else

Do you celebrate Easter or Christmas? Got married in a church or with a religious ceremony? These are all religious events or holidays. Just curious. No judgement either way but would be ironic if you celebrate Christian holidays but not holidays from other religions without any religious faith.
I’m sure Gaz is shaking in his boots at the thought of you booing him.
He shouldn’t be. I’m not here to make people uncomfortable, unlike Ablett...
When and where did Ablett not include or vilify anyone? It seems that you are the one doing the vilifying here.Deserved every boo & more. If the AFL were serious about inclusion and vilification then they should've come down a lot harder on Ablett. But it's Ablett so play on.
Try to look at the entire situation next time before jumping on the outrage bandwagon with the rest of the sheep. Why some people refuse to utilise their brains in situations like these has me completely baffled.I want to make it clear that I love ALL people regardless of race, religion, gender or sexuality.
I have always admired how strong Izzy is in his faith, it is not easy to share faith in the public sphere, and this is why I initially 'liked' his post.
I understand that liking this post appeared offensive and this is why I chose to remove my 'like' from the post.
