re: Egypt and Iran complain about planned World Cup ‘Pride’ match in Seattle

Soccer is for the gays. Always has been, always will be.

So who on the Left is going to openly criticize these two countries? Do it now. Stand up for your cause. We are all waiting.

We welcome them to our country and hope they have a good time while they are here.

Just as Iran requires women visitors to wear a hijab and Egypt expects modest clothing to be worn, we have our own laws and customs here.

And the First Amendment certainly one such law. So yes, a Pride march is a constitutionally protected activity here, and it remains so even when we have visitors from Egypt and Iran.

Sports have factored in international relations for as long as they have been played. Hopefully the World Cup will increase understanding and friendships among the participants.

Seattle isn’t forcing players to wear rainbow armbands or making the Egyptian team march in the parade. They’re just refusing to sanitize their own city’s identity because two dictatorships might get triggered. Good. If Tehran and Cairo are that fragile, they can forfeit the match and stay home. The rainbow flag isn’t going anywhere.

Well if they keep voting for these people to freely come into the country then there is a good chance those rainbow flags do go somewhere.


They support Islam.

I’m buying curbside tickets for the queers for Islam parade. Looking for the skydivers competition.

It's good to see you far lefties agree that the 1A doesn't tip toe around others feelings, and beliefs.
