Competing Religions Threaten War Within NHL
Flyers’ Provorov cites religion for boycott on Pride night
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov cited his Russian Orthodox religion as the reason he did not participate in pregame warmups when the team wore Pride-themed jerseys and used sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape.
The 26-year-old Provorov boycotted the pregame skate with his teammates before Tuesday night’s game against Anaheim as the Flyers celebrated their annual Pride night in celebration and support of the LGBTQ+ community. He played nearly 23 minutes in Philadelphia’s 5-2 victory.
“I respect everybody’s choices,” Provorov said after the game. “My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion. That’s all I’m going to say.”
Big Gay vs. the Russian Orthodox Church, 1st round goes to the Orthodox.
The NHL just got shirted by DeSantis in Florida for their racism, not sure if they’ll kick up too much of a fuss this go round.
Just finished watching a game on Sportsnet and all they could talk about was Ivan Provorov’s refusal to wear the Flyers LGBTQ+ pride night jersey.
Get over it! Stop forcing your religion on to everyone.

The NHL keeps providing me new reasons why I don’t bother watching any longer.
Ice Folly: Skate Canada to allow any 2 athletes to compete together in ice dance, pairs
Skate Canada has updated its policies so that ice dance or pairs teams competing domestically can be composed of any two athletes.

The previous definition was one woman and one man.
Cut the funding to Skate Canada.
Colorado Christian graphic artist who refuses to design wedding websites for gay couples has case heard in Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is hearing the case of a Christian graphic artist who objects to designing wedding websites for gay couples, as a dispute that’s serves as the latest clash of religion and gay rights again makes its way to the highest court.
Lorie Smith, who operates 303 Creative in Colorado, argues that ruling against her would force artists – from painters and photographers, to writers and musicians – to do work that is against their faith.
The ghoulish exploitation of the Club Q shooting
Blaming gender-critical commentators for the atrocity in Colorado is morally repugnant.
The Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs turns the stomach. Alleged gunman Anderson Lee Aldrich walked into the LGBT venue last Saturday night with a long rifle and a pistol. He killed five people and injured 25 more. He could have wreaked even more carnage had it not been for the remarkable heroism of army veteran Richard Fierro, who pulled the scumbag to the floor by the back of the ludicrous body armour he was wearing, before doing this to his face. Fierro says he was helped by another punter, who kicked Aldrich’s rifle away from him, and by a drag queen, who proceeded to stiletto Aldrich in the head. I’m sure none of them will ever have to buy a drink in Colorado Springs again.
‘Straight people’ to blame for LGBT film Bros’s dismal box-office debut says so called “Star”
Actor and screenwriter Billy Eichner is upset after Bros underperformed in its opening box-office weekend, saying, “Straight people, especially in certain parts of the country, just didn’t show up.”
In its debut weekend, Bros came in at No. 4, grossing $4.8 million despite opening on 3,350 screens — three spots behind Paramount’s Smile, which also debuted and grossed $22 million.
Same crap was thrown when Brokeback molehill was released. They keep telling us that Gays etc are 10% of the population. If that were true and even half attended then Brokeback 2.0 would be a huge success.

Miami-Dade school board rejects plan to make October LGBTQ History month
The Miami-Dade school board overwhelming decided against recognizing October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer History month, which included a measure to teach 12th-graders about two supreme court cases affecting the LGBTQ community.
Parents, teachers and students spoke for more than three hours on Wednesday, with one group citing indoctrination of students and the other speaking about how Nazis ostracized gays and lesbians with a pink triangle. The board then voted 8-1 against the measure, which was proffered by board member Lucia Baez Geller.
The tyranny of Pride
It’s time for a fightback against rainbow authoritarianism.
Imagine there was a political movement so powerful and so intolerant that you might be visited by the cops for making fun of it. A movement so dominant that desecrating its symbols came to be treated as a kind of blasphemy. A movement so fawned over by the elites that any town or village that refused to bow down to it – to wave its flag and shout its slogans – risked being written off as unsafe, and essentially as unclean. A movement so embedded in the ruling class that every wing of the establishment, from the political set to the military to the financial elite, was duty bound to display its insignia.

Funding for community groups a central plank of Canada’s first ever LGBTQ2S+ ‘action plan’
The federal government says it will prioritize direct funding for community groups under Canada’s first ever federal LGBTQ2S+ “action plan,” stating that they are the best-placed organizations to identify and deliver the support needed to address “persisting inequities” and improve the wellbeing of LGBTQ2S+ individuals in this country.
Through the plan, the government is also pledging to study emerging criminal justice issues such as HIV non-disclosure; adopt the usage of the “more inclusive” 2SLGBTQI+ acronym; and launch an awareness campaign aimed at combatting discrimination.
