      I’m just surprised to know there is a straight actor in theatre. It’s like finding a Shiny Pokémon or something, surely.

    They will probably believe they’re being discriminated against while being the one who is discriminating against others. Typical flawed world view.

      Her comment at the end of the article confirms that she’s in deep with the persecution fetish

      “but the theatre world needs to be told, loud and clear, that canceling people for their Christian beliefs is illegal and wrong.”

    on this episode of “My Sincerely Held Belief Takes Precedence Over Everything” we once again attempt to claim that any consequences for my anti-social behavior is a direct attack on myself and my religion.

      My religious dogma says it’s good to be a bigot against shitty bigots who target marginalized and minority groups for their hate. It also guarantees salvation at death or triple your money back.

      But my religion says I have to hate people and tell them they’re going to Hell.

      “All those who have sought to end my career.” So entitled.

      She refused to play a gay role, but when she was found out she’d signed up for a gay role, she didn’t quit, just go all persecuted when she was fired from the gay role that she refused?

      Right, but a court ruling she can’t make those comments seems like violating that whole first amendment thing.

      I’d get losing her job, public outcry, the social consequences but it’s strange to me to see legal consequences in the form of a court ruling. Thought that was a pretty clear line.
