Also I don't require folks giving the same support to Jaelene Hickle when she refused to wear the gay pride jersey the team wore. Matter of fact she got quite a bit of hate for it and was black-balled from the team.
IIRC, she refused to join the team because of the jersey, which she stated as her reason on a Christian radio show. Then she got hate from people for that position. Either way, opinions are opinions, and people are allowed to have them. They don't matter a ton to me, but they are free to have them.
