I’m shocked and disappointed at the signing of
@IzzyFolau
. Our great game is tasked with fighting against homophobia and standing up for the values it puts such high stock in. It shows none of the bravery, cameraderie or integrity

My son was introduced to my boyfriend when he was 4. My daughter was 8.
No moral outrage, no ‘issues,’ no problems whatsoever. Just lots of love, laughs and fun.
Be honest, be sensible and love them unconditionally and watch how they grow up into well rounded young people.

Just FYI, this has nothing to do with beliefs. It has everything to do with homophobia.
There are millions of people practicing their religion who are not homophobic.
Prejudice is prejudice and using religion, political beliefs or anything else to justify it is not ok.

Thank you Rugby League. It’s been emotional.

Coming out can be really hard.
Coming out when you’re married and have kids, even more so.
Being honest with ourselves and our family can be the hardest but most rewarding thing we can do.

Just to clarify. Using your religion to justify your prejudice, whatever it is, is not an expression of beliefs.
It’s prejudice.
I imagine a lot of Christians would resent the idea of being lumped in with him, as a bigot because of their religious beliefs.
@KeeganHirst
@IzzyFolau
@rfl
He’s not homophobic, he is a Christian and was simply expressing his beliefs, good on him, RL and Catalans for getting his career back on track

I’m also very proud that over 100 of those have been as an out, gay man. So to everyone who’s supported me over the years, thank you. Here’s to a few more yet! 🌈🦄

So I’m 30 years old today and safe to say, my life now is not what I expected it to be when I was 15 or 25 even. And that’s ok.
Don’t be getting caught up in expectations and things that haven’t happened. Just enjoy getting where you’re going.
That’s what I reckon anyway

Rugby League has been teetering on the brink for a while.
Getting rid of academies is the final nail in the coffin.
The people who run the game have run it into the ground. A sad day for a once proud sport.

The fact that a professional footballer is more in with the public and the mood of the country than an MP speaks volumes.
Shame on you for trying to minimise a British citizen holding an elected member of parliament to account for hypocrisy. Shame on you.

The ironic thing about the

The football captains could have gotten a squad player to wear the armband and sub them off (they have extra)
They could have changed the captain each game.
They could have made a stand.
They could have stood for something.
They chose silence

Saw two boys today, about 14 years holding hands today walking up the street in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Melted my heart a little bit.

There are so many issues with this tweet.
1. Why would you even ask that?
2. So 70% of people polled think the issue is fixed or doesn’t matter anymore?
3. Is it so much of a hardship to show solidarity with fellow human beings?
4. Why would you even ask that?

It’s ok to struggle.
You’re not on your own.
Take heart that you’re not the first to struggle, nor will you be the last.

Same sex couples, not a gay couple. The dancers might not be gay.
It’s just two people dancing.
To think people think it’s a post watershed event for 2 people of the same gender to dance together is really sad.

Dave, I wish that were the case. Unfortunately people are not treated equally. Gay people are frequently ostracised, ridiculed, beaten and even killed simply for being gay. That doesn’t happen because you’re straight. Not once. That is just the sad truth
To me there is no such person as a gay person. All people are equal no need for gay pride.

Interesting to hear that some of the first people to be furloughed and, in some cases sacked, at RL clubs were the player welfare officers.
Now, I might not be the brightest button, but I’d have thought this would be the time you’d MOST need those guys?

People like Alex Scott, David Beckham & Gary Neville are all guilty of hypocrisy and virtue signalling by going to Qatar, absolutely. BUT, they’re not the enemy. The enemy are people who shoot up gay night clubs & harass and bully LGBT people. That’s where ire should be directed.

Just to clarify. Representation is important because it shows people that you can be LGBT AND be successful in any career you want. Whether that’s sport or anything. You can live the life you want regardless of sexuality. Representation shows people what’s possible. Simple.
