People that choose not to fall in line with (your interpretation) one of their religion's stances shouldn't be criticized "just because".
There's obvious cases where it's the moral right choice,
Gueye is a twat for not wanting to wear a symbol that promotes acceptance and tolerance, not because he's not a correct Muslim in your view.
You're view indirectly supports fundamentalism, but this seems lost on you. Good day.
The rainbow flag doesn't only promote "acceptance and tolerance" though, it promotes gay pride.
It's fine to criticize someone, but you have to be accurate about the criticism.
The flag is a symbol of gay pride, gay people wear it to show others they are proud to be gay. Didn't you know that?
That's the issue with symbols, sometimes it is subject to interpetation what it actually stands for. But remarkably in this case, it is actually not ambigious. It stands for gay
pride, not gay equality.
Which is why again, gay people in my workplace wear it - in particular during gay pride week. And non-gay people usually don't wear it. If you want to call everyone who doesn't wear it a homophobe, you should come right out and say it. Don't hide behind false argumentation.
I'm not sure how, in any work environment, we can expect gay people to be open about their sexuality if they know full well they have coworkers who openly demonstrate disdain for gay people.
You're saying, if straight people don't wear the gay pride rainbow colours, they're showing disdain for gay people, is that right? You need to be clear about what you're saying here.
There is no work environment in the UK which I'm aware of which mandates that people wear gay pride colours. In your workplace, are you forced to wear it, and if you don't wear it, are you deemed a homophobe?
You need to be clear-cut, and not be ambigious.
