Supersonic 49,376 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 1 minute ago, ARTPOPRS said: This is how I see it. When I think Ally I think someone who goes out of their way to help a cause, by donating, attending marches, giving a voice to the communtiy through social media. No shade intended, but I think you might be mixing up word definitions a bit. An ally is just somebody who gives basic support and that you could rely on to shut down homophobic abuse/violence in public, an activist is somebody who is giving a voice to the community, donates and marches for our rights.

DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 You can be an ally in small ways. Like when i was in high school (2006-2010) and views on gays were more small minded than they are now, I viewed my friends as an ally cuz they supported me and stuck up for me. So to just come out and say your dream is not to become an ally just sounds questionable. No one is saying he has to be Lady Gaga, but will he stick up for LGBT people when he sees injustice?

WorstBehavior 1,141 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I just really want Ricky Gervais to host the Oscars. Unfortunately, his mouth is too “controversial” for the Oscars brand.. Whatever that means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakariah 11,722 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 the sad part about this is he obviously really couldn’t give 2 fks about the LGBTQ+ community’s thoughts because THEY’RE NOT HIS TARGET AUDIENCE. he’s saying all these because he is catering to his target audience, AKA homophobic african american people good luck to his box office poison ass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his own words, "take this however you want". The show host said that, not Kevin Religion is a product to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of which I’ll disclose in here (mainly because everything is offensive nowadays). Kevin’s jokes were in bad taste, definitely, but this statement is really up for interpretation. Religion is a product to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just like OP may have mixed up the definitions, Kevin Hart May not understand either. I’m in no way supporting his jokes (which weren’t funny to begin with and were in bad taste) but this statement isn’t exactly all one sided. We have to “take it as we will” Religion is a product to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
